 We learned all about watercolor in our Spilt Paint Watercolor Drawing lesson. Students applied their knowledge of watercolor methods to create an original drawing.  This project utilized critical thinking skills that challenge students to incorporate a drawing with their watercolor wash.  Here are some student examples:   

 Students spent first quarter learning about creative process.  They met various objectives throughout the quarter to complete a final, finished project. This included brainstorming, practicing technique, planning a layout, and finally: creating their poster.  Throughout the creative process students learned about various artists, including Bonnie Maclean who created the first Rock posters for the famous Fillmore Concert venue. We discussed different design elements through observing Maclean's artworks to gain inspiration for our posters.  Students also covered artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec and Alfred Mucha for inspiration and context into the art world. We discussed themes of art as advisements and functions of street art.  We applied this knowledge to our own artwork.  Pictured below: 8th through 6th grade posters.
