Web+Evaluations

I think one of the only limitations to this website is that the way the content is expressed is more dull than if the website were interactive. To incorporate this site and its information into my classroom, I would more than likely use it in addition to a homework assignment. I would have my students write their views on the information presented and how they thought it was important while creating art.
 * Title of Site:** Handprint : Watercolors & Watercolor Painting
 * Site Url:**  []
 * Comment:** This website is completely dedicated to the art of watercolor painting. The contents of the site include really wonderful information, such as how watercolor paints and paper are made, the concepts of color theory, palette mixtures, techniques, etc...

I agree with you that the content of this website is very accurate and useful. The only problem is in the presentation of the website. I like the simplicity of it, yet it still is lacking on a design that could help engage the reader. I find the use of space very distracting by only using half of the space for text and the rest is left blank. Also, the text tends to blend together on one level and I find it hard to read, which is a shame because it is full of useful information. LMD

I think the website is very precise. I like how the site shows you pictures that people have created with water colors. I think the site supports learning because it has lots of directions on how to create water color paints. The site is well put together, but I think it might not be for lower grades, like Kindergarten. I feel like the site is pointed more towards older kids and adults. LMB


 * Title of Site:** Welcome to an Exploration of Colors
 * Site URL:** []
 * Comment:** This website is a small dedication to the relation of mixing colors. It is an interactive website, allowing you to choose two colors in order to see their mixture. A definite limitation to this website is that it is very direct and doesn't have a lot of depth. I would find it a little hard to fully incorporate this into my classroom, only because it would take the students no time to understand the concept. I would incorporate this into my classroom around the time that I would be teaching about the color wheel. I would try to use this as a tool to help students see how colors incorporate together.

I agree with everything you said. The interaction of the website is great but it only takes you so far and could loose the attentions of users. I think this could be used with any age of students, it would be a good, brie,f introduction and tool to color theory before the students actually got hands and started mixing. LMD
