Photo Source: Mrs. Art Teacher! The perfect project for MLK Day or a peace unit, these gorgeous doves that we found over at Mrs. Art Teacher! are actually pretty easy to create. They'll take a couple crafting sessions since you'll have to wait for the paint to dry, but the finished product is certainly worth it! Materials watercolor paper watercolor paints paint brushes table salt plastic wrap black and white card stock black permanent marker Making the Doves What's cool about this project is that your kiddos will get the opportunity to explore several watercolor painting techniques; wet on dry, wet on wet, and salt texturing! Watercolor Painting Techinques Wet on Dry. The background paper and any paint previously applied to the paper is allowed to dry completely before more paint/colors are added. With this technique there is less bleeding between colors and the colors used are more vibrant. Wet on Wet. Paint is applied to background paper that has been brushed with water or already has a layer of wet paint on it, allowing for a softer, more diffused look as the colors mix together. Salt Texturing. With this technique, salt (table or sea) is sprinkled over the painted page when the paint is almost dry. Once the page is completely dry, the salt is then brushed off revealing a fun textured look. The background for the project was created using all three of these techniques and, after adding the salt, students were invited to carefully cover the paper with plastic wrap. Once dry, with the saran wrap removed and the salt brushed off, students added dove cutouts then printed quotes about peace on or around the shape. Here are close-ups of the finished projects...

Nothing makes me happier on a cold day than getting into a very hot greenhouse! Blackrock Farm in Kennebunkport graciously let us use their beautiful little slice of heaven for part of Dan and Lisa’s Engagement Session. Even letting their dog, Lock, join in! He was super excited to be roaming around the greenhouse too. I started off their session by meeting them at their car, or I think it was their car. Because it was so cold outside and so hot and humid in the greenhouse I had to get in there early and leave my cameras and my glasses. The minute I walked in my glasses fogged up and I couldn’t see a thing! Something I usually don’t have an issue with except for a few weekends in the summer when the temps and humidity climb while AC is cranking inside. We had a few good laughs at my blindness before heading to the greenhouse and taking a few moments to acclimate, and for me to finally put on my glasses to properly introduce myself! Because we couldn’t just pick one spot after the greenhouse we zipped up to Portland for some fancy photos in front of City […]
Dan and Becky recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, which is the perfect occasion to celebrate with photos on their farm!
Fresh-faced Warner Bros. Nashville duo Dan + Shay released their debut album, "Where It All Began," earlier this week, and the "19 You + Me" singers celebrated (in part) by stopping by the Billboard offices for a chat and acoustic performance on Monday (Mar. 31). The guys also contributed to the Warehouse Sessions series, a live series shot at a Nashville warehouse.
Each student chose a silhouette for their Element of Design Accordion Booklet and illustrated examples on each panel. The project reminded me of a similar project I had done in college while in Des…
