While browsing the Artsonia museum recently I came across a cool idea using Origami sailboats. http://www.artsonia.com/museum/gallery.asp?exhibit=406310 I decided to give it a try and I wasn't disappointed. I changed it up a bit. My students added some silhouetted sailboats as I wanted to introduce the concept of foreground, middleground and background in this lesson. I also felt the composition was lacking with only one sailboat and after struggling to teach the students how to fold one paper Origami sailboat I wasn't up for more, nor were my students. This was also a nice lesson reinforcing warm and cool colors as well as watercolor painting techniques.
I love the colors, and the silhouetted boats. We just completed a similar project with origami boats :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I was so pleased with the way this lesson turned out. The colors are great I thought and the boats are fun.
