In the skunk-themed drawing and painting activity, students will refine a variety of skills essential for artistic development. They will enhance their observational skills by closely examining images of skunks and floral gardens, which will aid in accurately rendering these subjects in their art. The project also focuses on developing drawing skills, as students learn to simplify complex images into basic shapes and outlines through guided steps. Additionally, using watercolors will immerse students in color theory, enabling them to experiment with color mixing and application to achieve depth and realism. This activity will also improve their fine motor skills, as precise hand movements are crucial for both drawing and painting techniques.

For Earth Day, students can create an engaging art piece using the eucalyptus tree as inspiration through a pastel and watercolor resist technique. They start by sketching the distinctive eucalyptus foliage and outlining it with oil pastels, which act as a resist to watercolor applications, highlighting texture and form. Applying watercolors over the pastel outlines, the sketches vividly come to life as the watercolors bleed into the paper while the pastel areas remain intact. This project not only fosters creativity but also encourages environmental awareness by reflecting on the role of trees in ecological health.
