Get ready for fall by making this fun and playful fall fox. Students will draw the fox with me step by step using basic shapes and lines. Then I will introduce students to some simple watercolor techniques that they can use to add color and texture to their foxes. Although my instructions are detailed, students are always welcomed to add their own unique personality to their artworks. As students work, I always make sure to provide feedback, encouragement, and additional instructions as needed. If time allows, at the end of class our young artists will have the opportunity to share their artworks with their classmates. **While each demonstration will be finished by the end of class, students who work more slowly may need or wish to continue working on their artworks after we have signed off for the day. Everyone works at a different speed, and it's better to take our time than to rush! Supplies Needed: - 9x12 Thicker white paper or watercolor paper (80lb weight or higher; I like Canson (100510941) XL Series Watercolor Pad, 9" x 12", Fold-Over Cover, 30 Sheets. A thick construction paper would as well.) - Pencil with eraser - Black crayon - Watercolor set (Prang or Crayola recommended) - Watercolor brush - Container with water (a container with a wider base or a bowl is less likely to spill) - Paper towels **You may also want a piece of poster board or large paper to cover the work area.
Learning Goals
-Students will be able to use basic shapes to draw a picture. This is a skill they can apply to other drawings as well.
-Students will be able to use introductory watercolor techniques to add color and texture to their artwork.
