Polaroid Style Watercolor Travel Paintings


This is a cool retro style watercolour project using Polaroid compositional format.
There are tons of inspiration on Instagram, where I saw this idea. If you are the originator of the lesson, please comment so I can give credit!!

Grade 10-12 students had to brainstorm ideas of places they've visited that made them feel safe, comfortable, happy, or has good memories of. Of course we always have lots of Rocky Mountains in ours! 
I gave them a planning worksheet on which to sketch their ideas. I encourage them to use their own original photos as well. 





Once planned, they measured out the correct dimensions on a sheet of watercolour paper. Some love to tape off their paper. For watercolour media, they could use either pan watercolour or watercolour pencils. 

I always love how these turn out!
