Water Color Painting

This was a lesson done by Brittany Madrigal. For this lesson, we learned different ways to paint using water colors and blind contour drawing. We first started out trying to draw our hand by only looking at our hand and not the paper. After that, Brittany put a flower on the screen. We had to draw the flower without looking at our paper. These were very difficult to draw. Then we learned different ways to paint.  Brittany would tell us how to paint and we would do it on our own sheet of paper. She showed us 5 different ways of painting. Then we would draw a box randomly on our paper and we would have to use 2 of the techniques Brittany taught us.

An extension activity for this lesson would be to use this when starting out a science lesson. They could draw the life cycle of a butterfly. This way students can have fun while also learning about the life cycle of a butterfly.
