Reflection:
- large size worked out great. More projects in this size I think will be good
- patterning was an issue for some classes. I think I glossed over that too much and need more time - 1/2 class - on the principal of repetition and pattern. maybe during the line unit?
- watercolor demonstration - seemed about the right amount of time, but some classes were misusing the brushes and the paint. Let them do a quick practice maybe?
- 1 or 2 more quick writes on balance - introduce balance earlier in the year?
- have students grade themselves and 1 more class critique. Musical one? Juniors - did not critique enough at all this year so far.
- once a cycle formal critique - use book to start, then student work.
Prep:
negative space example work - done in steps so students will only see each step at at a time. Short video on negative space and demonstration of how it affects the overall composition.
Materials:
paper, pencils, bike, watercolor paint and brushes, wide and thin Sharpie markers
