5th Grade Watercolor Experimentations

Watercolor Experimentation Charts, 5th grade:

5th graders have been working very hard on these watercolor experimentation charts for the past few weeks. Most 5th grade classes have finished their charts - each of the 12 squares features a different watercolor technique (wet on wet, even wash, glazing, graduated, dry brush, stippling, sponge printing, blotting, crayon resist, cardboard printing, bubble wrap printing, and scratching). The students have had a lot of fun learning about different techniques and have learned that artists can do a lot with watercolors using different tools and applications! Next, they will use their new knowledge to create Experimental Landscape Paintings - using each of the 12 techniques in their compositions.
