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

Computers or devices that can access both a printer and GoogleMaps Streetview, printer paper, printer ink, printer, rulers, watercolor or heavyweight paper, pencils, erasers, sharpies, acrylic or tempera paint in red, yellow, blue, white, & black, brushes, water cups, rags.

*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.
