Watercolor Imaginings Student Art Exhibition

Help me give my students an opening reception for their 1st art exhibition since the Covid-19 pandemic.

This project expired on June 3, 2023.

Washington, DC Grades 9-12

My Project

The High School Visual Arts Department is inviting the community to view the beautiful watercolor paintings created by the entry level Art A scholars. The works on display derive from the Watercolor Media Exploration Unit where students experimented with watercolor paints, demonstrated proficient skills mixing watercolor pigments and applied up to 13 watercolor techniques to create original works of art.

This will be our first exhibition since the world was turned upside down by the pandemic.

The students are super excited to show off their skills and we're happy to have the community back in the building to recognize and celebrate our talented artists.
