*Art One*
Students created non-representational watercolor paintings showing 4 color schemes, oil pastel contour lines, and color gradients.
Steps/Student Checklist:
Found a 1''x2'' magazine image that is non-representational. "If you find an magazine image of a person or a place, make sure you cannot tell what the subject is in your selected rectangular detail."
Selected a patterned swatch of fabric.
Drew simplified image detail using pencil and colored oil pastel.
Incorporated fabric pattern into two areas within the drawing.
Used ruler to divide composition into 4 equal sections.
Completed 4 color wheel plan worksheet to plan the 4 color schemes.
Notes/practice in sketchbook using watercolor techniques.
Painted each of the four areas of painting while referencing 4 color wheel plan worksheet--use more and less water for more or less opacity/saturation of paint.
Glued on two neutral colored strips for borders.
Added emphasis and boldness to select areas using colored pencil gradients atop some dried watercolor areas.
