Watercolor Drip Flowers

It all starts with a good drip. Learn to paint flowers from that drip. Now is your chance to see what you can create from a drip of watercolor. Let your creativity run wild. 

This project is a very easy and fun way to create a field of wildflowers with watercolor paint. When I am working with the younger students, I usually have then paint two pictures. They love doing drip paintings. If you want the students to create detail, do a directive drawing style painting.

Art Curriculum Video Classes

The video lessons in this section are part of a Larger Art Course. The larger art courses cover all the Elements of Art and Principles of Design based on Nation Standards. In addition, I will provide vocabulary, examples, and full art lesson plans in a digital download PDF format.

Each lesson comes with the following: 

• Step-by-step instructions for art projects

• Examples of other student’s work

• Elements of art and principles of design vocabulary and definitions

You can choose a 4-week or 8-week plan from the larger courses. The bundled art classes are separated by age group, K-2nd, 3rd-4th, 5th-6th, and 7th-8th grades. Sometimes grades are combined.
