Drawing Easy Castles

Students will learn about shapes and how adding different types of shapes together can make an amazing piece of art.  Students will pick different types of shapes with me helping and showing different examples.  We will do a directed drawing where we draw together but each student will create a different and unique type of castle as we talk about art vocabulary.  Students will create a castle using shapes like rectangles, squares, and half circles to create the towers in their pictures.  Combining these shapes will make a fantasy castle that both boys and girls can enjoy making. Students will create details that make their work unique.  Students will get to play with the different techniques on how watercolors can make a fantasy type of art or how their mediums can be used to give dimension to their art. Students can also use crayons, markers, colored pencils, or even paint if they want to.   Students will learn easy art techniques that they can use on other art they create outside of the classroom.   This is a fun activity that the kids can use their individual tastes to create.
