Crayon- watercolor resist was the technique used in this lesson. After reading the story "Turtle Bay", students researched different types of media on how a sea turtle looks while swimming under water. Students looked up pictures from a book, went on the internet and made copies of sea turtles, and we also watched a clip from the movie Finding Nemo of the sea turtles. Students then drew pictures of their turtles, made patterns on the shell, and colored the turtle with crayon. The only color students were not allowed to use was blue. Then the students wadded their paper up to make it wrinkled. Once they unfolded their paper, students painted their picture with blue watercolor which is a resist. The word resist is used to describe the action in which two materials or media repeal each other either chemically or physically. In this art piece we are using wax and water based paint to resist each other and repel.
