VIII.
Motivation
- I will gain the interest of the students by allowing them to first explore with the
materials however they would like for approximately five minutes. Following this we will
discuss landscapes and together we will practice different techniques include wet on wet,
glazing, spatter, straw, dry brushing, salt, saran wrap, and masking.
IX.
Instruction
- Allow for students to explore with the materials set on their tables. The
materials set on the tables are water in water dish, watercolors, a variation in sizes
of brushes, paper towel, a mixing pallet, masking tape, old toothbrushes, salt, and
straws.
- Gather the students into a close group without materials in front of them and
display/explain some well known landscapes along with not so well known
watercolor landscapes—to show examples. Then discuss what exactly a
landscape painting is. (A landscape painting is a painting that depicts natural
scenery with a foreground, middle ground, and a back ground. There is usually no
subject matter other than the scenery.)
Vincent Van Gogh: Starry Night
Thomas Cole: The Oxbow
Paul Cezanne: Mont Sainte-Victoire
- Following the student’s exploration and the introductions of landscapes it’s time
to show the students some techniques. With a new sheet of paper you will need to
instruct them to fold the paper once long ways then fold it so you get 4 sections.
(Fold the paper three times, once in the middle and one on either side of the center
fold. See example.) You will have 8 sections in total. On each section perform
one of the following:
- Salt:
1) Select any color you would like. You will activate the
pigment by adding water to it. Make sure your brush is full
of pigment.
2) Paint a small shape in one section on your paper.
3) Next sprinkle some salt on the shape of pigment you just
painted.
4) Ask: “What does salt do when it gets in contact with
water?”
5) The salt now absorbs some of your water and in a little bit you
will see the results.
-Saran Wrap:
1) Just as you did before choose a color that you would like
to paint with.
