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!!! :)
