Carolyn Braden's 2nd Grade: Pop Art Fruit Bowl Still Life

My 2nd graders are creating still life paintings. They chose to draw either a geometric abstract still life or a organic realistic still life. They outlined with crayon, making a thick, waxy resist line. They are painting using various watercolor techniques. Some got very creative and added hands reaching for the fruit and creating "tie dyed" backgrounds. They will be writing stories after they create their paintings. See my example below.
