Before doing a large large project, I like to do some exploration with the medium. This two day project allowed students to learn about the mannerisms and characteristics of watercolor. It's one of those subtle times that they are learning and they don't even know it. After finding a resource photograph, the students recreated a sunset as a loose wash. Then, with sharpie, they added in the foreground silhouette. The project was a hit! To many of my first year art students, it is their favorite artwork they have ever made.

About MeArt Room Drama refers not only to the animated personalities that circulate through a high school art room, but also the vibrant intensity that a great work of art can provide. My classroom is a combination of both. I am a third-year art teacher with a passion for introducing the dynamic, intriguing, and constantly changing world of art to my students. CategoriesArchives |
