3rd Grade Tint & Shade Birds

In this lesson, 3rd graders practiced mixing a variety of tints and shades.  Students started by drawing birds with pencil, showing space and depth by overlapping at least 2 of their birds.  Acrylic paint was then used to paint in the birds.  Students added white to their colors to mix a variety of tints, and added black to their colors to mix a variety of shades.  Texture rubs were then added to the background with crayon.
