ARTistic Pursuits: Painting with Watercolor Pencil – Beginner Level (Art Core 2)

Product Description

Students can work independently as they learn drawing techniques and handy tips about being an artist from the video, then apply those ideas to their own unique work of art.

Text lessons broaden the scope of learning as students:

• Observe the elements in their environments in order to connect the ideas to real-world experiences.
• See the elements used by Master Artists while learning about the artist and major events in American art history.
• Incorporate new techniques and processes for drawing into their own works of art as they explore various subject matter.

The ability to create your own unique watercolor artworks isn’t something you’re born with, but it’s built on a number of techniques and principles that you can learn! Here are just a few of the concepts you’ll learn to use in this course:
