Polar Bears/ Les ours polaires

Polar Bear

Reegan and Grandmaman
Reegan and Grandmaman painted a polar bear walking on a bright polar icescape.   Reegan is three.  We learned that polar bear's fur has yellow in it. 
We learned how to paint the paper first with water from left to right, just like when we read and write. 


  We learned how to make marks with wax and when we painted the paint didn't stay where the wax was. 
We learned that hair dryers are noisy but can help make the paint dry faster.

Ethan


Ethan painted Northern Lights in the background of his Arctic icescape.  He added claws and facial features with a sharpie and painted shadows under the polar bear's paws to ground him.
