To start this activity you begin by drawing an orange bridge in the middle of the page. Then you take your light and dark green crayons and draw vines hanging from the top of the page and lilypads at the bottom of the page. Next, take your white crayon and try to create some movement throughout the page with lines and clouds. Then take your reds, yellows and pinks to fill in other parts of the drawing. When done with the crayons we use blue and purple water paint to bring out the warm colors we used and to show the movement in the painting. I went from darkest to lightest when using the water paints.
An extension activity we could do would be to have the students use their imagination and write a short story about their bridge and what is happening around it and share it with the class.
