用水彩畫詩：Jabberwocky

Explore the fantasy world of poetry by reading a poem and then transforming it into a work of art. Together, we will read and discuss the poem, Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll.
In this class, students will learn:

- Type of poem 
- Vocabulary and nonsense words 
- Imagery
- Identifying mood and setting
-Line drawing and basic shading (pencil)
- Watercolor painting techniques

After our discussion, students will be given time to paint a watercolor painting that is inspired by the poem. I will be demonstrating different watercolor techniques (washes, filling, splatters, layering and blending). 

For this particular class, the character we will be drawing/painting is "the Jabberwock", and students will be encouraged to come up with their own version of this imaginary creature. I will demonstrate basic shapes and ideas (head, wings, tail, legs, etc), but will not require or expect students to copy step-by-step unless they want to.
