4th Grade Art Class discovered the Willow Pattern and the fairy tale that explains it. We examined the pattern closely and picked out the pieces from the story and from the poem below. Each student picked a piece of the pattern and created their own painting on a plate zoomed in to one detail. They then had to create their own pattern for the border. For this project we learned about tints and shades as they were only able to use tints and shades of blue for their painting.
'Two birds flying high, A Chinese vessel, sailing by. A bridge with three men, sometimes four, A willow tree, hanging o'er. A Chinese temple, there it stands, Built upon the river sands. An apple tree, with apples on, A crooked fence to end my song.'
