Watercolor Weaving

This watercolor project is a great way to let the students have freedom of expression while having fun. Students have to create two watercolor drawings, one must inoperative only warm colors. The other drawing is composted of all cool colors. The drawings are expressed while listening to different styles of music to help channel creativity. After the two drawings are dry the students must cut lines in one of the paintings leaving a one inch border around the paper. The other painting is then cut into strips either straight, curvy or serrated. The two sheets of paper are then woven together to make a very interesting textured and contrasted work of art. Students will get excited about this project because it allows the students to express themselves while listening to music. There is no right way or wrong way to this project it is left up to the individual working on the piece.
