For this lesson we discussed what are the characteristics of organic and geometric shapes. By overlapping shapes and drawing shapes within shapes they created abstract drawings. Students practiced mixing colors using the primary colors, each week focusing on warm colors and subsequently cool colors. In the last week they added additional details by using oil pastels over the watercolor, either blending colors or drawing an array of lines.
