PAINTING DEMOS  

Starting with watercolor and tempera blocks enables teachers to address set-up and clean-up right away with young students.  Teachers create a system with menus, allowing students to set-up and clean-up their own painting area without assistance.  When routines are in place, liquid tempera and liquid watercolor can be added, with acrylics for older students. 

 
Possible demonstrations for painting:

• Setting up materials and tools and putting them away
• How to use palettes to mix colors
• How to work around and with mistakes
• Brushes and brushstrokes
• Content for paintings: how to choose subject matter (landscape, still life, portrait, animal, non objective)
