This is an overview of this project that encompasses many different parts and pieces. Entire package for you to use and the final project ends up being a watercolor polaroid of a landscape combined with a piece of architecture. 

 

20 sheets included. Includes teacher step-by-step instructions as below:

 

#1 Review Landscape

Review what a landscape it, parts of a landscape (foreground, middle ground, background). Discuss perspective. See “Landscape worksheet” that’s included.

 

#2 Review Architecture

Discuss what architecture is and brainstorm most famous choices. Several examples are included but tell students they are not limited to those. I also include bridges as a good choice and encourage using strange and fun buildings. I also have students complete the “Strange Architecture” worksheet here — a little fun and exposure to odd architecture.

 

#3 Landscape Worksheet

Have students complete worksheet which has them brainstorm their favorite choices for 3 landscapes and 3 pieces of architecture.

 

#4 Watercolor Technique

Have students review watercolor techniques and try each with the 3 worksheets included. Handy to have them try each technique on actual watercolor paper unless you can copy worksheet on watercolor paper.

 

#5 Polaroid History

Review polaroid history and what a polaroid is. Most students know what they are and have seen them. I have vintage examples I pass around the class for them to see.

 

#6 Thumbnail for final composition

Have students go back to their landscape/architecture worksheet where they drew in the 6 boxes. Have them decide on their final composition. I encourage students to think really creatively. Since they’re combining any piece of architecture and any landscape, the more unusual the better (and more fun!). I always require thumbnails before proceeding to final (thumbnails = artist way of brainstorming/tiny little sketches)

 

#7 FINAL Polaroid

Students can measure out or you can provide precut polaroid papers in the correct dimensions. Then students use their watercolor technique to render their final composition. I do allow colored pencil over the top when it’s dry to give a little more definition, this partly depends on age level, skill level, etc.
