Family Portraits

We recently started a unit on family. We started the lesson by reading the book How Artists See Families. We compared how artists such as Cassatt, Sargent, Van Gogh and Homer interpreted families.  

Then learners created drawings of their families in thin sharpie. Next we used liquid watercolor to paint on top of the portraits. 

Materials: sharpies, watercolor paper, watercolor (I used liquid watercolor to give it a more abstract feel)
