An experience with watercolors For a third grade class By Mia Murray ITE326

What are watercolors? And watercolor history • Artists' paint made with a water-soluble binder such as gum arabic, and thinned with water rather than oil, giving a transparent color • Watercolors were probably used as far back as the Paleolithic era in caves as well as during Egyptian times. • Watercolors really became a hit and claimed their place as a favored medium during the Renaissance. • “Watercolors were generally used by Baroque easel painters only for sketches, copies or cartoons (full-scale design drawings).”

Questions to consider • What did you see in each of the images? • How did they make you feel? • Did they remind you of anything? • What do you think the artist was feeling? Why? • What would you have titled each image? Why? • What elements of art were used? • Would you have done something different on any of the images? • Which did you like best? Why? • What are the artists trying to communicate?

Big ideas • We can use watercolor art to express our feelings • We can use watercolor art to communicate • We each bring our own experiences into how we interpret an image • We can use the different elements of art to help us communicate through our art. • We can look to our surroundings for inspiration • An art piece will ‘speak’ to everyone in a different way.

• Salt station: Students will paint an image with watercolor, they will then experiment with adding different salts to the wet image and observing the changes once it dries. • Sponge station: Students will wet paper and then paint with sponges and watercolor. • Watercolor pencil station: Students will draw an image with watercolor pencils and then paint with wet brush.

Art experiences Students will explore watercolor art and how to create texture using a variety of methods

• Bubble station: This process involves a paint/dish soap/water mixture that the students will blow into bubbles to then run their papers across. It does not contain watercolors, but gives a similar look. • Saran wrap station: Students will create an image with watercolors and then cover with wrinkled saran wrap or plastic grocery bags until dry. • We will discuss the different images and processes that we experimented with. The students will then brainstorm and create a final image that they write an artist statement for and share with the class.
