Watercolor paints are accessible for all levels of skill and confidence, and produce beautiful paintings that help students express their learning and their creativity. Watercolors can also present really interesting results in combination with other art mediums. Having a classroom set of watercolor paints, as well as brushes and watercolor paper will allow me to develop arts integrated projects to expand students' learning around social studies and science, as well as help the students develop creative habits of mind. Much of our curriculum is aimed at addressing academic achievement, so I hope that doing arts integrated projects can help deepen my students' learning, while also giving them the chance to paint, which many of them do not get the chance to do at home.
