This is a watercolor painting done from a magazine reference that requires students to first evaluate and paint on their own, and after the first draft they sit down with the teacher and make a list of what they can do to create a stronger piece, and paint it again with their new ideas.

THE PLAN
6 sessions; 50 minutes per session
1. SWBAT create an accurate watercolor painting using learned techniques from a reference.
2. SWBAT analyze their own work and learn from their mistakes, and effectively make a stronger piece by painting the same picture twice.
1.Have students take their papers (any size they choose) and tape all 4 sides to an easel, board, or table to keep paper from warping.
2. Have students choose a picture of food they would like to replicate in paint.
3. Students may sketch out lighty the basic shapes of their picture.
4. Students will paint their picture using learned watercolor techniques.
5. After they paint it, students will sit down with the teacher and evaluate what they can do to make a stronger piece. Emphasis on technique, highlights and shadows.
6. They will now paint their second painting with their new knowledge, learning from mistakes and making a stronger piece.
7. They can now see their own growth and compare/contrast their two pieces.
Students will be assessed on their ability to improve their own skills and see a change from their first painting to their second.
Various magazines for food references.
My students really enjoy this painting and most are amazed at how much stronger they can get their painting by just doing it a second time.
