Landscapes in Watercolor and Acrylic

My 8th graders just finished their landscape artworks.  I stocked up on Calendars when they were half off after the first of the year (reminder: laminate next time).  We discussed horizon line, background, mid ground, foreground, atmospheric perspective and brushstrokes.  For grading, I gave feedback in the form of Plus Deltas on the back.  I also asked students to complete an artist statement and complete a plus delta for a self-evaluation and complete one for a peer.  Overall, very pleased with the results.  For future lessons, I want to demonstrate the steps in painting more, selecting a paint brush size, and adding these terms to our word wall!
