Kieran’s Red Barn

For a pretty country painting, you can’t beat the color of a bright red barn. This was made with the tempera cake paints, which are a lifesaver for busy teachers on a tight budget.
1. Students draw barn and silo as shown. Details like windows, and animals are encouraged.
2. The lines are traced with a thick black permanent marker.
3. The art is painted with tempera cake paints. My student used the Dick Blick brand shown HERE, which are pretty cheap and last awhile. The best part? They don’t spill and you can just let them air dry so cleanup is easy.
Thanks to Kieran for letting me share her painting from last week. Can you believe she’s just a 1st grader?
