Summary:

Children will learn about illustrator Catherine Rayner as they create value studies of bunnies using watercolor paints.

Watercolor Bunnies

Catherine Rayner is an award winning Illustrator and children's author based in the UK. This lesson will introduce children to her work.

What We Used:

Watercolors (Blick liquid watercolors)

Watercolor paper (an 80 lb sulphite paper will also work well)

Pencils

Paintbrushes (#8 round)

Black Sharpie markers

Examples of Catherine Rayner's artwork

Catherine Rayner's books (Harris Finds His Feet is about a bunny)

What We Did:

I began my lesson by talking to the students about realistic versus representational art. I spoke with them about the art of illustration and what books might be like if there were no pictures.

After showing them images of Catherine Rayner's work I told them we were going to create a representational painting of a bunny using two different values of watercolors.

I had the students follow me as I directed them in drawing their bunnies with pencil.

The first graders learned about VALUES of a color.

They used lighter shade of brown and a darker shade of brown to paint their bunnies.

I used Blick liquid watercolors to create the two different shades they used.

They used a number 8 round brush to paint their drawings.

Finally, they added some details with sharpie (some went a bit overboard). 🙂

Note: I was VERY inspired by this lesson from MAKE.

If you have a printer you can:
Cut out the pictures and sort them into the correct grouping based on their beginning consonant sound.

If you do not have a printer:
Grab a piece of paper and try your best to look at the pictures and write the words together that start with the same consonant. For example try to write the word scissors, look through the pictures to find the other words that also start with s and write them next it.

This is an easy art project for even the youngest kids. Drip painting flowers can be done by preschoolers, kids in kindergarten and, as the end result can be really pretty, older kids too!

If you are making this art idea with preschoolers, we recommend using cupcake liners for flowers as we did, while older kids can create their own flowers out of various materials.

We share a lot of crafts ideas for kids, but think art is even more important! This art project is all about the process as it's main focus is on fine motor skills.

As pipettes are used to drip paint over the canvas, this requires a bit of skill and patience and eye.

As different tones of green are used, it can also be a good starting talking point to discuss different tones of colors and how mixing two different tones of green in different ratios can bring about a whole selection of new color tones.

How to Make the Drip Painting Flowers Art Project

What you need:

canvas

pipettes (big ones for younger kids)

easel

green paints (tempera or other washable paints, acrylic paints for older kids are good too)

water

cupcake liners in different colors

glue

scissors

Older kids can also make their flowers out of newspaper, fabric or draw them directly on the canvas (amongst other options).

Step by Step Instructions

Prepare the colors. For preschoolers you will have to mix the colors for them, older kids can be tasked to mix the colors on their own. Add enough water to make the paint super runny (water it down quite a bit).

Fill the pipette with color an start dripping the color on the canvas (tilt the canvas at an angle so the paint will drip).

The top can be the "bottom" of your canvas.... Or you can start dripping the color from different heights and let it dip towards the bottom of the canvas (then this will be the bottom of your painting). You can also mix it up.

Continue dripping paint and mixing the colors until you are happy with how your painting looks like.

Take a cupcake liner (or two or three). Push the bottom of the cupcake in, so you invert the colors (white on the outside and colored part of the cupcake liner on the inside).

If you are making multi colored flowers, trim the cupcake liners that will be on the inside.

Add glue to the largest cupcake liner, and stick on a smaller, trimmed one.

Repeat for a tri color version.

Now you have a nice colorful cupcake liner flower.

We made three different ones for our drip painting flower art .

Apply glue on the canvas and stick the cupcake liner flowers on.

All done! You've just made a wonderful canvas with drip painting flowers.
