5th Grade Sumi-E paintings

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.
