About this resource
What's inside this resource
Step-By-Step Art: Watermelon is a teaching resource that guides students to draw a colorful watermelon using simple, written instructions paired with large reference images. Budding artists will follow along as they sketch the oval shape of the melon, add stripes and seeds, and color in their final drawing. An additional coloring sheet provides more watermelon art practice. Two reflection pages allow students to assess their progress, favorite parts of the project, and ideas for improvement. This engaging resource can inspire creativity in art class, be used as a supplemental small group or individual activity, or even assigned as enriching summer homework. With scaffolding provided through each step, young artists of all skill levels will feel accomplished creating their own watermelon art.
