Watercolor Paintings

Artists are in full swing with their watercolor paintings! Students have enjoyed being able to choose their subject, which allows students to pick a composition they know that they will be most successful in creating.

Last week, students created watercolor booklets where they demonstrated several watercolor techniques. I love book arts and find that the one-page booklet is simple to make, but is very useful as a study guide or a quick little booklet.

After the booklets, students created rough drafts and then engaged in a gallery walk critique where they gave feedback to help inspire their classmates with ideas.

The last two days students have been starting on their paintings. Students also have the choice in size of their paper, so I have artwork spanning from 9" x 9" to 18" x 24". Here are a few works-in-progress:

Have a fabulous Thanksgiving!
