My Project
Our students are eager to engage with complex ideas, and Sketching Watercolor Mixed Media tools will provide them with a creative way to reflect on and interpret the texts we explore in Seminar. Using school-provided paper, watercolor sets, and fine-tip pens, students will visually express their understanding of themes, characters, and historical contexts from our readings. These tools will encourage them to translate abstract concepts into visual form, allowing them to deepen their analysis of texts through artistic exploration.
The primary goal of this project is to offer students an opportunity to manifest their learning via art.
By integrating sketching and mixed media into our discussions of class texts, students can experiment with visual storytelling to capture the emotional and intellectual weight of these texts. School-provided materials ensure that every student, regardless of artistic background or access to supplies, can participate in this reflective process, reinforcing their ability to think critically and creatively about the ideas we study.
What makes our students special is their ability to approach literature with curiosity and depth, bringing their own perspectives into classroom discussions. These tools will give them a means to visually map their interpretations, whether by illustrating key metaphors, reimagining historical moments, or crafting abstract compositions that capture a text’s mood or message. By blending artistic expression with literary analysis, we are fostering a space where students can connect personally with the texts while developing a lifelong appreciation for both literature and visual storytelling.
