3rd grade's Chinese plum blossoms


Student Paintings

These scholarly examples come from the 3rd grade. The students followed strict rules to learn how to use a sumi brush. They had to hold the brush a certain way in order to make skinny and fat lines.






Plum blossoms grow in China and they have been subjects in the visual art as well as poetry. Sometimes you can find a plum blossom painting with a poem.

Plum blossoms grow in midwinter and they have become symbols of winter and the approaching change to spring. They are known for their beauty, fragrance, and they are used as metaphors for hope, purity, and perseverance.

The students went through different exercises to develop their skills and ended up with art work that can delight the eyes.
