Watercolor Lesson Plans

Using paint in a classroom isn't always feasible but with a few watercolor trays, cups of water, and small brushes a whole world of opportunity opens up.  Here at the Columbia Art Center we love to use watercolor in many of our lesson plans.  Kids love the vivid colors and we love the easy clean up!  The following resources could easily work in any classroom.  Definitely give watercolors a try if you haven't already!
