Today, we are going to become friends with our paintbrush.
We are going to learn different ways to hold and control the marks we make with this new tool.
Every painting begins with a brushstroke. A brushstroke is a mark made by a paintbrush.
What kinds of brushstrokes do you see in these paintings?
Wassily Kandinsky, Untitled
Franz Kline, Mahoning
Exploring the Paintbrush, how to hold, and control movement:
- parts of paintbrush--bristle, ferrule, handle
- how to hold a paintbrush
- Children locate shoulder, elbow wrist and finger, hold joint with free hand. Pretend to paint in air moving each joint. Notice how the length of the brushstroke changes.
