Lois Ehlert's book, " Planting a Rainbow," was the inspiration for this art project. In this book, flowers of the colors of the rainbow were planting. The children painted rainbow gardens after reading this book.
We used large pale green paper that was donated by a business to our school.
Each child was given a paper plate to be used as a palette.
We started with green paint and painted stems and leaves about a third of the way up the paper.
Then went back to the left side of the paper and painted a red bloom.
We continued with orange, yellow, green ferns, blue, and purple flowers.
Then added Sunshine and clouds to complete our pictures.
Some students mixed the colors on the palette together to create "dirt."
The results: beautiful rainbow gardens!
