It went fairly well. I believe I need to have two projects per class though, as they finished pretty quickly.
We learned watercolors. I created card stock painting printouts with mini watercolor palettes on each page. I explained how watercolors differ from acrylic paints and how to assess how much water you need versus how much paint. I let the kids explore with color mixing the watercolors and seeing how the texture differs from acrylic.
