vocab lessons

This was a fun project in that the kids were quite willing to work on ...  a color vocabulary painting.

There was some design choices to be made, but basically they followed instructions and all found it very relaxing to be told what to do each step of the way...
I gave them instructions to divide the paper into 15 sections, in one section they put their name, and then they put a vocab word from a list of 13 art terms, in every other one, leaving room for a section to be pure design. Then they used watercolors to  illustrate the concepts. Plenty of time for discussion allowed. Lots of reinforcing, and they started teaching each other!
