Abeka Watercolor Step-by-Step
Description
This book was designed to help the beginning watercolorist understand the basic techniques of the medium, select the proper tools, and know where to start. Each of the 15 demonstrations incorporates drawing, art history, and observation exercises. Given this foundation, your high schooler copies the author's step-by-step demonstration paintings, creates his own compositions, and paints them in watercolor. He will paint still life, landscape, flowers, architecture, portraits, and more. Students should possess basic drawing skills and a basic understanding of color mixing (such as red + yellow = orange), concepts taught in Abeka's elementary art texts. Designed to be used in grades 7–12.
With clear instructions for the teacher, even a
not-too-artsy parent can work through an Abeka art lesson in 25-30 minutes a week. A
year-at-a-glance schedule and the scope & sequence lay out what you can
expect for the school year. Teacher tips and plan-ahead supply lists make this
program very user-friendly. Teacher help and student pages are all in one
convenient book. Art concepts or techniques are clearly defined at the
beginning of each lesson.
Child Art for 2s and 3s consist of large pages with simple activities to teach children foundational art concepts like shapes and colors, following directions, developing eye-hand coordination at 2 and adding seasonal and patriotic themes, religious art, health, safety and science pictures at 3. In the younger Art Projects for grades K-3, projects are more of the cut & paste crafty projects, with some basics on the color wheel. The holiday and seasonal pages are especially fun! In Art ABC for grades 4-6, the focus of the lessons is basic drawing techniques, painting, color concepts and perspective. Extended projects are included. Watercolor Step-by-Step is designed to help the beginner understand basic watercolor tools and techniques. Lessons incorporate drawing, art history and observation. Lessons are short with step-by-step instructions and color photos.
