Dong Kingman's Sing Chung Chinatown
Students will continue to paint their representations of a neighborhood block. The teacher should emphasize:
- Mixing secondary colors
- Mixing tints and shades of the secondary colors
- Using color to create balance
Direct the students at each table to share their work and to select one painting that illustrates the use of color to create balance. These wet paintings should be placed on one large table (or the floor) for all to see. Ask for volunteers to select a painting and explain how the student used color to create balance.
In preparation for their last lesson, students should select either Kingman's Sing Chung Chinatown or Fasanella's Happy and Bud Service Station (found online). List at least 10 details in the painting that help create a sense of place. They should then think about what details they need to add to their owpaintings to create a sense of place. These details should be written down and brought to the next class session.
