| Lesson Plan Submitted by Judith Walsh, art teacher at Mt. Zion Elementary, Suffolk, VA. 
Grades: 2th & 3th grades
Materials: Watercolor paints, white paper, pencils and butterfly pattern (optional)
Procedure:
Each student is given 2 sheets of paper and a butterfly pattern.
The pattern is optional. If they want to draw their own they can. They will
trace around the pattern on each of the papers. Next, students will cut
them out. The teacher (you) will then demonstrate the wet-on-wet painting technique on
one butterfly and the wet-on-dry technique on the other butterfly. Students will
see the difference in the techniques and get to experiment on their own butterflies.
The two outcomes are very attractive! Next, you can have a discussion on
which technique they liked the best. Which one gave them more control? When
papers are dried they can be mounted on poster board for display. You will be pleased with the outcome! Elementary Art Lessons
