Water Color Painting

During this project we were taught all about the many ways to use water color. We learned about a famous painter, Wassily Kandinsky. He was an influential Russian painter and believed that a great way to paint was listen to music and paint how the music made you feel. We then played musical chairs, painting how the music made us feel and when the music stopped we moved on to the next piece of paper. We learned about many different techniques to water color painting such as wet into wet, crayon, flat wash, blotting, graded wash, and sgraffito. 

An extension activity to the project would be to have the students pick a certain type of technique they learned about and use it to express their feeling their favorite movie. Allowing them to chose their own movie will result in many different paintings.
