Procedures
Event	Method/Media	Instructional Treatment or Strategy
Gain Attention of Learner	Instructor demonstration/Cotton swabs, sand paper, brush, tube paint and watercolor paper	Instructor holds up a piece of artwork with recently lifted color and asks students if they can see the color lifting and imagine how it might be done, listening to and discussing student comments.
Inform Learner of Objective	Instructor - Discussion	Instructor will inform students that after this lesson students will know a variety of techniques in order to lift color from a painting, know how to create diverse visual effects from different edging techniques and how brush marks vary depending on the type of brush and art technique applied.
Stimulate Recall of Prerequisites	Students: Painting	1. Students learned washes in a previous lesson. Students will recall that paint takes time to dry. Lifting must be performed when the paint is still wet. 2. Students paint a color wash onto their papers/Paper, paint, brushes, water, palette.
Present Stimulus Material	Instructor/All materials	Instructor demonstrates and describes how lifting, edging and brush marks are accomplished through a variety of techniques.
Provide Learning Guidance	Instructor/All materials	Instructor shows students what techniques work for the desired effect and why certain techniques do not work. Instructor asks students questions during this demonstration.
Elicit Performance	Students/All materials	1. Students are instructed to paint a snow-covered branch onto their papers that have been prepared with the wet wash. Students perform lifting, edging and brush mark techniques using this as a base. 2. Students are encouraged to discuss what they find difficult or easy about the assignment as they are working, instructor observes assists students as needed.
Provide Feedback	Instructor: Observation	Instructor addresses and gives students suggestions regarding their difficulties with lifting, edging and brush marks. Some students may find it difficult to work wet as they will have to figure out the right amount of water to use for the desired effect.
Assess Performance	Instructor observes students work.	Students continue lifting techniques. Instructor assess each student’s work. Students are evaluated on their ability to understand and apply their knowledge of lifting techniques.
Enhance Retention and Transfer	Class Critique	Individual students post three works to the critique board. Instructor discusses with class, lifting methods and techniques and how they can be applied to future student projects to compensate for lack of white in the watercolor palette.
