Hawaiian Orchid



I've added photography as another form of art.  I took this picture a few years ago in Maui, Hawaii.  This picture captures the bright colors of the orchid with the water in the background.  You can also get inspired to draw artwork from the photos that you have taken.  Try taking pictures of objects with textures.  You can practice drawing these textures on either plain or textured paper.

Let's Make Confetti

You can create your own confetti for a party, celebration, or an event.  Use a three hole puncher to punch out circles.  Try using different types of colored paper, cardstock, construction paper, etc.  You can also find hole punchers with different shapes, like hearts, leaves, flowers, & more at your local craft shop.  Try creating confetti with a variety of hole punchers for a festive themed party!
