Description: This was a watercolor project that the class did. We learned different techniques like washes, gradated washes, dry brush, wet on wet, and more. Then, everyone followed along to outline the picture with pencil first. First, we drew the three lines to indicate the background. Then, the pedestal. Lastly, the vase of flowers. Use a ruler to make neat, straight lines. We traced the lines with a black sharpie and a ruler. Then, using a white crayon as a wax resist, we made patterns along the walls. It is a little difficult to see in the photo and the colors are a little light too. A darker color or more saturated pigment will make the white crayon pop when painted over. Next, put flat washes of warm colors for the background and flat washes of cool colors for the pedestal and vase. Set them out to dry. Something that helps with warping paper is to tape down the paper before starting to paint.
Extension Activity: A fun activity that you can use to extend on this is to create a 3D model of the student's dream room. Have them use found objects at home and outside. Then have them explain their room to the class.
