Sunburst Watercolour Heart Painting

Valentine's is around the corner so here's a cute watercolour lesson to get kids refining their watercolour skills. I found the lesson HERE and let my Grade 7-9 students have free reign with it. The link provides really clear instructions. I modified the lesson by having a glitter or felt heart glued onto the center.

Using heavy white paper, students taped off a border. Then drew converging lines in pencil to the center point. They painted in the sections using watercolours.
