Winter Snow

Which art material can you use to draw winter snow?  You can use white chalk, pastel, colored pencil, paint, or glue cotton.  Add a touch of glitter to give your snow sparkle.

Rock Balancing

Rock balancing is a form of art that requires patience.  The rocks can be balanced if you find the right point on the rock for placement.  Look for the edge or the surface of the rock to create the balance. 

Valentine Cards

Design a special Valentine's Day card to give to someone.  Write your thoughts using calligraphy.  Draw a large heart then fill the heart with smaller hearts.  Cut ideas that represent love & care from a magazine then glue to a blank card.  Or write an inspiring quote with your favorite markers.

Draw Basic Shapes

How can you draw basic shapes?  Use fruits!  Draw an oval by studying a watermelon.  Draw a moon by observing a banana.  Draw a sphere by reviewing the form of an orange.  Fruits are wonderful subjects for drawing simple shapes.

Paint: Our Universe

I took a painting class & had the opportunity to paint the universe.  I love to study the stars, planets, & galaxies.  I decided to paint the subject on astronomy.  I painted a comet, Earth, & star clusters.  I used a mixture of paint colors to create the visual effects.

 

Design Flow

Books, magazines, & videos can serve as ideas for the design flow.  However, each artist has their own unique touch to their work.  There's no wrong method to begin your design flow.  Start with your inspiration.  Write down your ideas.  Design your art with your creative elements.
