BLACK LAQUER
After viewing prints and black laquer artifacts, Grade 4 students created a nature themed design on a small box. They imitated the time consuming layering process using black tempra, colored tempra, gold glitter and many coats of Mod Podge.
SUMII PAINTING
Sixth graders study Japanese artwork, examine traditional painting artifacts, then create their design on rice paper. Their inspiration comes from slides of the country of Japan from a Social Studies unit.
