This Monstera Abstract Watercolour Project is a complete unit of work that asks students to use the silhouette of a monstera leaf to create a painting. It includes the following stages:
- Students research the work of Paul Klee and create a research page.
- Students learn about abstract art.
- Using monstera leaves, students create a design.
- Watercolour techniques are applied and the colours are influenced by Paul Klee.
This download includes:
- A 15-slide PowerPoint, pictured above, that guides your students through every step. The images are static and the text is editable.
- A 3-page written unit or work that includes 7 stages and lots of good advice and tips.
- 4 Monstera leaves to create the design/composition.
- Paul Klee Images to inspire the watercolour colour-choices.
- An assessment rubric. There are two versions of this resource, one with the spelling ‘colour’ and another with the spelling ‘color’.
Materials required: paper, watercolour, brushes and sea salt.
There are many more painting resources on The Arty Teacher.

Good comprehensive unit. I plan to also ask my students to draw from observation to begin with as we have a monstera plants on campus.
A great looking unit that I am looking forward to using.
Thanks.
