The students really enjoy this painting. They respond so well to the colors and shapes, I also think that they particularly enjoy the structure of the piece - as something that they can grasp.
Students began the work on their own project by building their castle with some basic shapes: triangles, squares, and rectangles. Once their castle had been built the students outlined their work in black crayon to resist the watercolors that we would add later.
After all the outlining with crayon was done, students began to add colors to their castles with watercolor.
They were instructed to take special care to paint one shape and to not paint all the shapes one color.
