1. Students start by cutting out a small magazine picture, one that inspires them. They use a glue stick to attach it to a piece of watercolor paper.
2. The students “finish the picture” in pencil and then color it in with watercolor pencils. (Don’t get fooled by the cheap brand; the good ones like Prismacolor are like night and day.) Water is painted carefully over the colored areas, which turns the color into paint.This amazing picture was created today a talented 5th grader.

I love this project! Great lessons as always!
I love this idea!
Kathy-What style of art would you say this project would fall under?
My family did this tonight around the kitchen table, my 3 and 5 year old loved it! Thanks for the idea: http://schultzpartyoffour.blogspot.com/2009/12/tonight-we-did-art-around-kitchen-table.html
Only recently discovered your blog and I love it!
Do you have any favorite watercolor sets/brands for students? some seem so weak and the kids get disappointed with such light colors.
i just wanted to say thank you for all your wonderful ideas. it's such a gift to me as a mom. i don't know much about art, but i love it & want my children to be exposed to it. thank you for making that possible! i wish they could have you as a teacher :)
