Third grade began this project by
looking at ancient Chinese dragon depictions (paintings, prints, clothing
etc.). They discussed the difference between western and eastern understandings
of dragons and learned about myths. We then did a guided drawing in our sketchbooks to practice our skills. Once third graders were satisfied with their drawings, they transferred them onto larger paper. Using thin and thick sharpies students inked in their details. Finally, The painting began. Students mixed colors in a plastic palette to personalize each dragon, we then added hints of sparkle with glitter
watercolor.
