Third grade students learn about Japan in their Social Studies curriculum, so this year I decided to have them create an Asian landscape painting. First, I had them use black paint to make the outlines of the mountains, houses, and trees. Then, students experimented with watercolors using salt and plastic wrap to create different effects. Finally, students created a name stamp to show who the artist was. We added some red paper on the top and bottom to make it look more like a hanging scroll. The students had a lot of fun using the salt and plastic wrap. And they got to keep their stamp, which really made them excited!
