6th grade students are hard at work creating watercolor masterpieces called "Winter Forests." This lesson focuses on a few different concepts including composition, space, color theory, and some watercolor techniques. The most important thing however, is the concept of creating art using negative space. Negative space is the area around the subject.
Here, this student is creating the first layer of a forest scene by painting the negative space around a tree, which causes the tree image to emerge. When this layer dries, the student will add multiple additional layers in the background until a deep forest is created.
