Materials and tools:

Colored pencils, watercolor paints , oil pastels and other painting tools

Water cups and brushes (if using watercolor paints)

Pictures or books for reference information about Kaiping Diaolou

Pencils , eraser and ruler

Paint palette and color mixing tools (if using watercolor paints)

Steps:

Understanding Kaiping Diaolou: Before you start painting, Let primary school students understand the history, culture and characteristics of Kaiping Diaolou. You can provide relevant books or display pictures for their better understanding.

Choose picture composition: Elementary school students can choose to draw a specific watchtower, or create a watchtower scene of their own imagination. Help them decide on the composition, including the location of the watchtowers, the surrounding environment, etc.

Draw the outline: Use a pencil to lightly outline the outline and main features of the watchtower. This is just a preliminary sketch and can be modified in later steps.

Color: Use colored pencils, watercolor paints, or oil pastels to start coloring the tower. Consider the color, texture and details of the watchtower and try to restore its characteristics.

Add background: Place the watchtower in a suitable background, which can be mountains, villages, rivers, etc. Make sure the background matches the tower.

Add details: Add details on the watchtower, such as windows, doors, tiles, etc. Use a small paintbrush or pencil to trace these details.

Add cultural elements: If possible, consider adding some elements that represent Kaiping culture into the painting, such as traditional clothing, food, or folk activities.

Shadows and Light: Consider the light and shadows of the watchtowers to add dimension to the painting. Use different shades of colors or lines to express light and shadow effects.

Check and retouch: After you have finished your painting, check and retouch it. Make sure colors are vibrant and details are clear.

Sign and share: Finally, sign the primary school students’ names in the appropriate places on the painting and encourage them to share their work for family and friends to appreciate.

This project can help primary school students develop their creativity, understand local culture and history, and develop painting skills. At the same time, they are also encouraged to take pride in their work.
