The project goal was to teach them how to use a grid to enlarge a reference picture from a small size onto their painting paper.
We took a square piece of 10x10 acrylic paper and a 4x4 reference picture of an eye and divided each into equal squares. Then starting with one square at a time, the students painted what they saw. Each child caught on very quickly and the results are lovely.
The artist were all given just primary colors along with black and white and mixed everything themselves. When finished I handed out some charcoal for them to finesse any lines they wanted to add that were to fine for a paintbrush.
