Project Overview ☆

synopsis

In this unit, student artists create a landscape of somewhere they have always wanted to see and visit. They then learn about how color can change the ‘mood’ of a painting, and they use the sky and weather to establish that mood in their painting.

materials

Old magazines to cut up—preferably ones that focus on travel or places, scissors, glue, construction paper (for the inside of the book as well as the cover—copy paper can be used as a cheaper alternative), watercolor or heavyweight paper, pencils, erasers, sharpies, washable tempera paint in red, yellow, blue, white, & black, brushes, water cups, rags, copy paper.

*suggestion: Have bins for each table or section that contain the materials and simply add the new materials needed for each lesson. Assign a student artist the job of passing materials out after the ‘CFU’ part of the lesson. Baby wipes are handy to clean hands after the painting lesson. Have a system planned out for the painting lessons—where to store wet paintings, as well as how to have student artists pass out and collect paints.
