Kids Art Russia lesson!

Today we learned about Russian architecture and ‘onion domes,’ as depicted in St. Basil’s Cathedral.

We used sharpie markers on watercolor paper to make our drawings permanent. Then we added watercolor paint and salt. The salt separates the water in a beautiful pattern. They turned out SO original! This technique is always a parent favorite, and the kids always love to paint.

Here are some examples of our final art:
