This
past semester one of the lessons that I created, taught and took the most pride
in was the watercolor painting project entitled “Watercolor Menagerie”. I
determined that the main teaching goal for both the lesson and my students was
experimentation, to release control over the medium and allow the materials to
do what they do naturally. I chose to focus the subject matter of the
final painting on real life vibrant and colorful animals (like the photograph of the lorikeet
you see below).
For my teacher example I used various watercolor painting techniques like flat wash, graded wash, dry brush, wet on wet blending, and splatter to create the colorful patterns and textures of the lorikeet.
Examples of the watercolor paintings my students created can
