Fifth Grade students learned that Sumi-E means ink
picture. This is a traditional Japanese style of painting. Artists practice
their brushstrokes for years before painting actual pictures. The goal of
Sumi-E painting is not to paint a realistic representation of an object, but to
capture its spirit or soul in the painting. Students practiced three different
kinds of brushstrokes and then used those techniques to paint bamboo, a
traditional subject of Sumi-E Paintings.
