For this activity, we were assigned to write down four adjectives that described ourselves and our names. After we had our adjectives picked out, we learned about the different types of lines you can create. We were instructed to divide our big sheets of paper into five different sections using five different types of lines. Once our papers were divided we were instructed to write our adjectives and our names within each section making sure that our letters touched the top and bottom lines. After writing our adjectives, we were tasked to create at least ten different designs, two in each section, between our letters in crayon. The purpose of the crayon designs was to stand out in the watercolor. We made sure to not repeat colors next to each other with our watercolors. In the finished product, you should be able to see the designs within the adjectives and through the watercolor.
For an extension activity in the spring, you could have the students create a flower outline with oil pastel and each petal is an adjective describing themselves and the middle part would be their name. You could still do the oil pastel or crayon design on each of the petals with the adjective so you could see them through the watercolor. When they're finished and if your classroom has big enough windows, it could be a really fun/cute window display. The hallway could always work to showcase their flowers too. The colors could really brighten it up!
