The most exciting part of teaching elementary school is seeing students take on a project and really run with it. My students were all very excited to create watercolor illustrations based on their zodiac signs so as I began my lesson on watercolor techniques I was excited to see what they would come out with and BOY did they blow it out of the water.
My biggest fear regarding this first run of the project would be the colors getting very muddy and students not understanding how to mix the colors properly. Lucky for me my students were able to take to the project as well as listen to my instructions regarding the wet on wet techniques and create these beautiful backgrounds!
