3rd Grade Watercolor Wonders


 The focus for the first few 3rd grade projects is on texture.  I teach this watercolor lesson every year, because students LOVE the discovery of salt as a texture technique - and because the resulting paintings are always beautiful.  I usually bring in an elephant ear leaf, to spark a discussion about leaf shape and structure, and to increase student awareness of the natural world. Fall is definitely my favorite season!
