Blue Skies, Yellow Sun- 4th Grade-DCDS

The 4th grade acrylic painting unit was inspired by “Blue Skies, Yellow Sun.” A teacher-guided PowerPoint offered a wide range of techniques and ideas that encouraged creativity and risk-taking. Since painting is a natural extension of drawing, students were challenged to strengthen their painting skills by mixing and layering colors, building thoughtful compositions, and adding meaningful details. They embraced these challenges with enthusiasm and were truly amazed by their growth, confidence, and the heartfelt effort reflected in their final work. Many students added finishing touches with paint markers to give their paintings extra highlights and a vibrant pop.
