Supply and classroom prep sheet for

Pen & Wash “Field Of Poppies”

Field of Poppies copyright Joanne Howard 2017

Classroom set up:

I will need a DocCam & Projector or poster page, visible to all students while they are drawing at their desks/tables.

I can use either:

your document camera & projector set up - Excellent option!

my DocCam & stand with your projector. I have cables. (Sorry, I don’t have a projector!) - Excellent option!

or a sheet of chart paper - poor option, very difficult for students to see palette mixing.

Please get everyone to clear desks (except for things they’ll need.) We’ll have more art time!
I will need a clear table and/or counter area to lay out palettes & water pots ahead of time.
Please have paints in a visible location 15 min prior to start time. Thanks!

Supplies:

FOR Pen & Wash

Paper - white 8.5”x11” copy paper (or any white smooth-surfaced paper or light card (such as bristol board or "smooth" or "very-lightly-textured" watercolour paper.)
Pencils & Erasers
PERMANENT Fine point or Ultra-Fine point Black markers (Sharpies or Equiv.)
1 per student, please check to ensure they work well.
NOTE: Sharpie pens (silver barrel says pen) are not Permanent. (They state "Waterproof" but will bleed significantly when wet. Standard Sharpie markers are great!)

Liquid Tempera Paint – in squirt bottles, please! - Red, Yellow & Blue
Water (sink access)
Paper Towels (one each, plus some for clean-up)

If we are using liquid paints, I will bring brushes & palettes. If kits or blocks are being used, we will need to use your brushes, as mine are not suitable for this purpose.
I will bring water pots.

**Painting in Portables: Please either have students bring an extra bottle of water for painting or provide several buckets of cool water in the portable ahead of time.

Please note: Kits and blocks are not recommended. Liquid tempera and watercolours in tubes are both far better paints than most watercolour kits. If this is your only option, please let me know ahead of time, so that I can bring my kit.
