Our Pre-K young artists spent several weeks becoming familiar with watercolor paint and how they can use it with oil pastel to create a resist. This week we took a look at the bright colored Ukrainian folk art designs painted on Easter eggs referred to as Pysanka. Similar to how this tradition utilizes a batik method wax, we used oil pastels to first great our own designs of shapes and lines with a waxy surface that we then painted vivid colors on top of.
