Make Your Mark

All Raymond Elementary artists have begun the year making their mark. We read the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds and learned that all Art begins with just one mark. We discussed different kinds of mark making in Art, and how we each have our own unique way of expressing ourself. RES artists each created their own mark using tape to make a watercolor resist. We learned how watercolors flow and blend by experimenting with the amount of water we added to our paints. We will revisit the idea of “Making Our Mark” through other creations this year.
