Student Work: Watercolors

I didn't do this lesson last year. Students had to pick out a color that represented their personality (yellow by research means energetic, happy for example). They had to find a portion of an image in a magazine with a viewfinder that primarily had their color and paint it. The project required them to use some sort of watercolor technique to provide texture like salt for a grainy look, dish detergent for a splatter of white, or a crayon resist for strictly white areas.






This student that did the blue one above has cerebral palsy. He is wheelchair bound and does not have use of his dominant hand due to a stroke. This is one of my favorite paintings due to his use of color.
