Summertime Boats in the Bay

Summertime Boats in the Bay....ah makes for a fun day! We created these in class the last 9 weeks on the middle school wheel. We discussed certain Elements and Principles of Art. Overlapping was a big part of this lesson. We focused on the techniques of the media. Blending the oil pastels and experimenting with the watercolor. (wet on wet and wet on dry)

Last year we created boat buoys. See link below:

The sand and the sea tend to lend themselves to this type of lesson especially in Florida.

Would love to see lessons that you have created like this. Please post in the comments so we can check them out.
