I do it not so much because I'm infatuated with outlines, but because it teaches them the brush control and also simply knowing how much paint/water need to be in a brush to pull out a smooth line. Sometimes I think this is a challenge for us art teachers - we have all these wild and crazy ideas, but controlling a paintbrush or knowing how hard to press down with a colored pencil,etc are all things that just are natural and automatic for us. It's hard to realize that it isn't the case for most of our students.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370879428515287328.post-21383576954801112682011-06-28T20:58:34.052-07:002011-06-28T20:58:34.052-07:00It doesn't sound silly at all - I have older k...It doesn't sound silly at all - I have older kids who still have trouble knowing what to do with curves!!Christie - Fine Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418114130566362780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370879428515287328.post-10572595691482665922011-06-28T09:59:03.125-07:002011-06-28T09:59:03.125-07:00I think this is a great idea!

This project will fit right in with the one i do!<br />Thanks for sharing.<br />Peace-kszwahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931013214050728397noreply@blogger.com
