Lesson aligned with ELA Common Core unit "Literature Settings: Weather or Not"
We learned watercolor painting techniques in fourth grade! We compared/contrasted winter artwork in a PowerPoint first. Students noticed a theme in color palette choices and they searched for clues that demonstrated the use of space within each painting. Let the taping begin! "Why would we put tape on our artwork where we want our trees"? Students obliged me and made tape trees. "We're going to paint right over them, but huh"? We learned about washes and painted skies and then added some shadows in the snow. Love to see the light bulb go on when we finally take the tape off! Students learned about the dry brush technique when making the bark for their trees.
