Oil vs. Water with Watercolor Paint and Oil Pastels

Help me give my students an opportunity to explore how water and oil repel while creating original artwork. Liquid watercolor paints can offer an incredibly vibrant hue that traditional watercolor paints cannot offer.

My Project

I have the incredible opportunity to teach 600 children about visual art through a variety of different materials. My students bring their own unique interests and passions to my classroom and they thrive in showing their own personalities through their art. I am privileged to be their art teacher.

Liquid watercolor paints will give my students an opportunity to experience a true collaboration between the visual arts and sciences, as they see first hand how the materials interact with one another.

In visual art, the hard lines from the oil pastel and the soft lines from the watercolor paint can create a beautiful contrast which can be very successful for little artists. Liquid watercolor paints are a special material that will specifically enhance student learning because of the vividness of the color profiles.
