This lesson, created by Brittany Madrigal, was a lesson to
practice contour drawing and water color painting techniques. We were first told
to draw our own hands blindly, she had us focus on all the lines in our hand and
helped us through our blind drawing by telling us not to lift our pencil and to
really focus on the object we were drawing. We were then taught different
watercolor techniques, flat wash, wet on wet, dry brush and crayon resist. We
then were told to blind draw a picture of a sunflower, then we were to draw
random rectangles on our paper and to paint them in.
An extension activity for this lesson could be to have a
science lesson about the different parts of the sunflower. Each part could be
described in detail and could have particular attention to the different
textures throughout the parts of the plant. Students could draw the plant and attempt
to show the texture using the different water color they learned.
