End of Semester project.
Creating an Original Landscape Watercolor Painting
*Description/Objective: I will create an original watercolor painting from a resource photo by first reproducing it then revising it to reflect my own style.
Strand/Standard: Standard 7–8.V.P.3:
Develop skills and concepts to refine artistic work for presentation by analyzing and evaluating methods for preparing and presenting art based on criteria, by collaboratively preparing and presenting selected theme-based artwork for display, and by formulating exhibition narratives for the viewer.
Standard 6.V.CR.2: Formulate an artistic investigation of personally relevant content for creating art.
*E.Q.: How do artist create work that is both imitational, formal, and expressive
Materials/ Resources:
Photo resource of a familiar landscape to our geography that has an obvious foreground, middle ground , and background in high resolution. 2 printed copies one in black and white and one in color.
pencils that can create a range of values
Watercolors
a variety of watercolor brushes
6 x 9 drawing paper
2) 6x9 watercolor paper
1) 9x12 watercolor paper
**Vocabulary:
Imitational, formal, expressive, revise, personally relevant, pre-assessment

Sequence of Instructions
Students will demonstrate their retention of learned art skills in watercolor painting in this final project. They will....
1. Create an original composition using more than one source material and combining them into an original detailed shaded drawing.
2. Use the skills that we learned of perspective, how to create the illusion of depth, use of blending and glazing to create lights (warm) and shades (cool), how to work large to small, light to dark.
3. Students are expected to utilize the skills learned! Do not tackle unfamiliar subjects or techniques. That includes A. well formed trees that follow the rules of perspective and have a consistent light source, B.buildings that are in also in perspective, C. mountains that have the appropriate amount of detail, value and color based on their location in the picture plane. D. Skies that have clouds that are blended, shaped accurately, and sized in perspective, and E. A consistent overall light source with drop shadows and highlights.
Before we complete the grading on this assignment, students will do a pre-assessment using the rubric below, revisit their work, and then submit for final grade.
