Moving on to Watercolor

We have officially finished our first project of the year!  The students did a wonderful job on their perspective initials, and have started planning their watercolor project.  Here are some of the finished products!


Our "Wall of Fame" featuring some of the outstanding artists in class!




You and your student should be very proud of their accomplishments! I was blown away by these works!

In the last week, we have moved onto a focus of color theory.  We analyzed color in artworks and advertisements, and focused on implications of color.  The final work will be a self portrait of the student that conveys an emotion through color and expression.

In preparation for the paintings, students have been studying the color wheel and watercolor brush skills.  Here are some of their practice sheets!



Today we edited student photos in the computer lab to prep them for our paintings.  I am impressed with their compositions! Here are some of the self portraits students have edited.  Next week we will transfer the images and begin painting them. Each image is aimed at portraying an emotion.

Tranquil 
Furious
Outrageous
Playful
