Materials and Resources

Watercolor paints
Cups for water
Paintbrushes
Watercolor paper
White oil pastel
Pencil
Tracing paper
Tape
Powerpoint
Phones or tablets for a photo editing app

Management of the Instructional Environment

I will walk around after presenting and make sure the students are following along and help those who are
in need of help.
Technology Integration
Photo editing app, Phones or Tablets, Powerpoint, Email, and a projector.

Diversity and Equity (Accommodations, Modifications, Adaptations)

I will make the necessary accommodations, and modifications for those students who need special help.

Activities/Procedures
I will introduce the students to an app called Photo Editor that they can download on their phones.
As it is downloading I will walk them through step by step, how to take and edit a picture of themselves so
that the image they take is a black and white photo with high contrast.
After they have the image edited to my specifications they will email it to me and I will print off each of
their pictures.
They will then begin transferring the image to a slightly bigger sheet of water color paper.
Once it is transferred, they will erase the lines the drew in pencil and outline it with the white oil pastel. (it
will act as a barrier that the water color can’t blend into the background.)
I will briefly show them a video tutorial of how to paint with watercolors using wet on wet and dry on dry
techniques, as well as which analogous color schemes they can choose, and they will work on finishing their
self-portraits.

Reflections and Documentation/Evidence of Lesson Effectiveness

I will ask them if the colors they chose somehow reflect themselves or their personality.

I will ask the students if they think a self-portrait is representative of more than just what is seen on the
outside.
