Today was my first day teaching on my own! I created my own lesson plan on
the introduction to watercolors. I first started off with a power point so I
could give my students a history background of watercolors. I also showed the
students some artists who were well know for creating watercolor paintings and
certain techniques. I also showed the students more present types of watercolor
artists and how they have become much more abstract. 
After, I showed the students my example project I have created. I had one
project that was finished and worth an “A” and one that was worth a “F.” This
way my students knew right off the bat that they had to fill the whole space and
what was expected of them. Once they saw the project I finished off the power
point with more examples of each technique. I explained their importance and how
they are done. I called on the students and asked them how they would do the
technique just to make sure they would understand. They all really understood
each process and responded well. I was glad I did so well on my first time
teaching.
Next I wrote on the board the measurements and how to label each technique
square. As I finished up explaining to the class, I walked around and helped
students as they went through each technique. I was really impressed with many
of their projects and hope they do this well the next time around.
(This class has finally finished their ink projects as well)
