Watercolor: Control Groups

Here are the landscape project from my control groups.  They all had to do a landscape but I did give then an option to do any location that they wanted.  I found this project to be easier to peer assess... Students were able to give quality feedback and we were able to go over the objectives more often as a large group.  I think for watercolor, this is the BEST method.  Give them option of subject but teach them the techniques of the process.  I also felt that I really saw a variety of projects by just giving students an option of location.
