Watercolor is our friend
It is time for......................
WATERCOLOR!
Students now that we have experimented with watercolor in class it is now in your hands to research some watercolor artists and techniques. You need to find a watercolor artist either on a website or on youtube and paste that link here on the blog. After you paste that link under it you should have journal notes that include:
- Description of the techniques the artist used and their style.
- How long the artist has been painting.
- Your thoughts and comments on the artist.
Then it will be your turn to TRY IT!!!! In your sketchbooks you will try the technique(s) you learned from the artist you researched using watercolor.
Journal notes in sketchbooks include:- Your final thoughts on your piece and how the artist influenced your work.
Take a deep breath and enjoy the experience of watercolor!!! :)

Grid Practice
Practice Drawing with a Grid.
Students here is your chance to practice some grid drawing on your own. You pick a worksheet in class (one of your choice) and draw the animal exactly in the grid provided. Journal notes are a must for this assignment. I am looking for Description, how you think you did, and comments. Remember art vocabulary is always a plus. This again will be worth 10 points. See you all in class.
