Go outside and draw a tree with all the wonderful textures

Go outside and look up at the clouds rolling by and sketch out what you see in the formations (Unicorn, Clown, Balloons…look closely as the clouds change and move-what else do you see?)

Go outside and draw your front or your back yard…yes…this is a Landscape!

Not outdoor weather…stay inside and draw your pet (if you have one) while it is sitting still or sleeping

No pet…how about sketch a picture of your sibling or parent

Need something that sits still…set up objects in your room (toys, shoes, cups, even a crumpled pair of socks will make a great subject for observing…etc)…this is a Still Life (because it sits still)

Have a good time Observing your World!

A New Perspective DrawingOverview: Stay Inside or Go Outside and Draw Estimated Time: 25 minutes or more if you likeMaterials Needed: Paper, pencil, markers, crayons, colored pencils (whatever you have for color) straight edge or ruler and a solid surface to draw upon (book or clipboard or a table if you are inside)Activity Explanation: This activity will help you continue to perfect your drawing skills in one-point perspective.Idea Examples: (Don’t limit yourself …expand your vision and just draw…it is the process that helps you become a better artist and above all ENJOY!)

Let’s take our knowledge of one-point perspective and explore some new ways of using this drawing technique

Using the drawing below as a jumping off point or inspiration…create a landscape with a road, railroad track, stream, path etc. that disappears at the ONE POINT on the horizon.

Consider where your landscape will be…in the desert, along the Amazon river, along a path in an enchanted forest with unicorns and cotton candy trees…ooooh, yummy!

“POP” Pop ArtOverview: Stay Inside or Go Outside and Draw Estimated Time: 25 minutes or more if you likeMaterials Needed: Paper or print the blank POP handout, pencil, markers, crayons, colored pencils (whatever you have for color) and a solid surface to draw upon (book or clipboard or a table if you are inside)Activity Explanation: This activity will help you continue to use your drawing skills and exercise your imagination.

Idea Examples: (Don’t limit yourself …expand your vision and just draw…it is the process that helps you become a better artist and above all ENJOY!)POP Art Movement: Do you like looking at bold images of everyday items painted in bright colors? This type of art is called pop art and it began in the 1950s. Pop art is a style of art based on simple, bold images of everyday items, such as soup cans, painted in bright colors. Pop artists created pictures of consumer product labels and packaging, photos of celebrities, comic strips, and animals.

Using the template handout of the Coke bottle…create a fun, bold, creative background.

Using the blank Soda bottle…design the bottle, name your soda, and create an imaginative and bright background.

No color available…no worries…how about a Zentangled bottle filled with all manner of line and shape with pencil or pen.

Extensions and Resources Really liking the POP art process…try some other

ideas by finding a commercial item in your house…food packaging is a great subject matter (candy wrappers/ cans)

Take a blank paper and sketch the object and if you have access to a color material (crayons, markers, colored pencils) Options: color realistically or non-objectively (not like the object)

A soup can handout has also been added below…like Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Can paintings. Take that handout and design your own Soup complete with a unique flavor.Examples: Bubble Gum Soup, Unicorn Glitter Soup…what flavor will you create?
