Project Instructions

Begin by watching the entire video.

You may want to refer to the Watercolor Techniques video for painting options for the background. If you choose to use this activity you may want to consider doing it in two parts so that step one will have time to dry before gluing on items to the watercolor page.

When the piece is completed and dried you can glue it to a larger piece of construction paper or cardstock to add support and a more finished look.

Please share photos if you can!  We’d love to see what your students create!!
