ART Polaroid Watercolor Landscape Architecture Lesson Project Worksheet SET
- PDF
Description
This is an overview of this project that encompasses many different parts and pieces. Entire package for you to use and the final project ends up being a watercolor polaroid of a landscape combined with a piece of architecture.
20 sheets included. Includes teacher step-by-step instructions as below:
#1 Review Landscape
Review what a landscape it, parts of a landscape (foreground, middle ground, background). Discuss perspective. See “Landscape worksheet” that’s included.
#2 Review Architecture
Discuss what architecture is and brainstorm most famous choices. Several examples are included but tell students they are not limited to those. I also include bridges as a good choice and encourage using strange and fun buildings. I also have students complete the “Strange Architecture” worksheet here — a little fun and exposure to odd architecture.
#3 Landscape Worksheet
Have students complete worksheet which has them brainstorm their favorite choices for 3 landscapes and 3 pieces of architecture.
#4 Watercolor Technique
Have students review watercolor techniques and try each with the 3 worksheets included. Handy to have them try each technique on actual watercolor paper unless you can copy worksheet on watercolor paper.
#5 Polaroid History
Review polaroid history and what a polaroid is. Most students know what they are and have seen them. I have vintage examples I pass around the class for them to see.
#6 Thumbnail for final composition
Have students go back to their landscape/architecture worksheet where they drew in the 6 boxes. Have them decide on their final composition. I encourage students to think really creatively. Since they’re combining any piece of architecture and any landscape, the more unusual the better (and more fun!). I always require thumbnails before proceeding to final (thumbnails = artist way of brainstorming/tiny little sketches)
#7 FINAL Polaroid
Students can measure out or you can provide precut polaroid papers in the correct dimensions. Then students use their watercolor technique to render their final composition. I do allow colored pencil over the top when it’s dry to give a little more definition, this partly depends on age level, skill level, etc.
