We are going to be experimenting with watercolor paint. You will be making 6 small abstract paintings with the following themes:
- Brushwork -Layers -Transparent
-Monochromatic - Controlled Chaos - Unique
First, I just want you to play with the paint. Set up 3-6 practice paintings with masking tape on a board. Write your name.
Then setup your palette with paints (small amount) and get a feel for the paint.
Try different techniques with the watercolors to create interesting color fields that show blending, color mixing & brush stroke techniques.
Experiment with layering and transparency. Use water to thin the paints. Try wet on wet techniques to let the paint run, drip and have a mind of its own. Try dry on wet, wet on dry, etc.
When you have an understanding for the paint and an idea, begin a mini-painting. For a grade you will need 6 paintings of different themes: brushwork, layers, transparent, monochromatic, controlled chaos, and unique. Each painting needs to be labeled with your name and the theme title. (60 points)
Written reflection: Reflect on your mini paintings and all you learned from painting. Which techniques do you like? What colors work together? (10 points)
