This week the 6th grade students continued with their Watercolor and Color Theory unit of study. Each student has selected an Illinois landscape or Illinois symbol to depict in a realistic landscape or seascape. Students are using the concept of foreground,middleground,and background to give the illusion of space and depth.
In additon, students are using their imagination to introduce additional pictorial elements to complete their Illinois inspired landscape or cityscape of Chicago. To enhance their knowledge of watercolor we have begun to talk about color theory and watercolor techniques in the early stages of exploration of this exciting area of art.
