Supply and classroom prep sheet for

Watercolour “Garry Point Lighthouse”

Garry Point Lighthouse copyright Joanne Howard 2006

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 WATERCOLOUR

Paper - white 9" x 12" watercolour paper or 8.5”x11” white copy paper or card **watercolour paper will improve the completed project** - No drawing paper or construction paper, please
Pencils & Erasers

Liquid Tempera Paint – in squirt bottles, please! - Red, Yellow, Blue & Black

or watercolour tubes in the same 4 colours
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.
