2. Introduce lesson with Powerpoint giving students background on macaws and the rainforest.
3. Demonstrate drawing lightly and watercolor techniques.

I had to take out a lot of slides to upload it so you may want to add more facts and photos of macaws and the rain forest.
This lesson is great to combine with any grade level studying the rain forest and animals.
You may also connect it with Henri Rousseau and his famous jungle paintings.
