          Discussion

          • Colours - talk about primary colours, secondary colours, complimentary colours, cool & warm colours, black & white, grayscale, the spectrum, shading and tinting.
          • One of our Guiders is an artist.  She brought in several different types of art (her creations) to share with the girls: portraits, still life, oil painting, sketching, screen printing, mosaic, collage, etc.
          • The girls were encouraged to ask our Guider questions about her artwork.

            Craft: Rubbings

            • Each girl was given a notebook and a pencil, and we went outside to create rubbings of the different textures we could find around our meeting place.
            • We brought our notebooks back inside, then used pencil crayons to turn the rubbings into creative pictures.
