Watercolor Landscape Rubric

Students used photos of landscapes from a favorite place they've been (or similar) to draw and paint a watercolor landscape/seascape. Students were encouraged to use watercolor techniques learned in the previous technique practice lesson wherever appropriate (i.e. resist methods, wet on wet, dry brush, salt texture, washes, layering).
