All successful watercolor projects begin with a great drawing. Use the how-to-draw handouts to help your students to their best work. This 19-page art booklet features four Watercolor Projects that are suitable for all elementary school grade levels.
PROJECTS INCLUDE:
Tweet! Tweet! An easy directed line drawing turns into a stunning piece. Perfect for Kinder through to second grade. This project uses oil pastel and liquid watercolor paints and takes approximately one 40-minute classroom session.
Under-the-Sea Tropical Fish and Sea Life: The focus in this project is on the drawing. Use the handouts of tropical fish and underwater sea plants to create a magical world. Easy explanation of composition elevates this project from ho-hum to extraordinary. Wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry watercolor techniques are used here.
Fantastic Frogsuses a simple crayon resist technique. A fast and easy lesson that requires a one hour class session.
Clipper Ships: An impressive line drawing complete with more advanced watercolor techniques for the upper elementary student. This lesson can be simplified for the younger set just by eliminating some of the detail.

Hi Patty,
We loved this book of lessons. Fourth and fifth graders were so proud of their work. I posted about our process on my blog, http://elementaryartroom.blogspot.com. Thanks for the great ideas!
I love this booklet too. Your kids did a fantastic job with the fish. Aren’t they beautiful?
