Art: Paint an experience

This lesson had the boys using watercolor crayons to draw/paint an experience they remember.  In the drawing, they needed to convey how their senses were engaged within the experience. 'A's drawing was of him and Dad snorkeling on Maui: He saw a palm tree, fish, and seaweed. He felt the warmth of the sun. He heard the waves and people on the beach. 'R' drawing of a plane trip.  The orientation of the picture is very important to him and it must be seen like this: This is the interior of the plane.  The boxes on the right are the overhead bins.  'R' is sitting in the middle aisle.  There is a red stream that represents the hot air, and there is a blue stream that represents the cold air that pumps through the vent.  The box next to him is the snack cart; a highlight of his memory.
