Let's Make Some Art!

Watch here each week for 2 or 3 art activity ideas, for any age!
Since you'll be doing these at home rather than in the classroom,
​I'll try to keep things open-ended and flexible so you can use materials you have available.
Drawing paper, computer paper, lined notebook paper, construction paper... 
and use what you have for drawing: pencils, crayons, markers - it's all good!

Most importantly, Be Yourself, Be Creative, and HAVE FUN!
After you've created something, you can share your work here if you like.
Take a photo of your picture, or scan it,
​then email to:  [email protected] 
or send via text message to 308-207-0802
​

I'll include as many examples here as I can!
This is a new adventure for all of us,
​so please be patient as we make adjustments to make this work smoothly.
I'm also working on a format for more formal classes and lessons, stay tuned!
Activity #5
Animals!
Draw one of your favorite animals, whether its a pet or a wild thing,
​ from life, a photo, your memory or imagination. 

Activity #4
Snack time
Draw your next snack, as it disappears! 
One way to begin is to fold your paper in half, then half again.
When you unfold it, you will have 4 sections.(You can do more if you like).
Draw the snack whole, then partially eaten, and so on. 
Your choice as to what the snack is of course-
​fruit, cookies, crackers, a sandwich, a bowl of ice cream...
Activity #3
Trees
I like to draw winter trees, you can see all the interesting branches, bird nests,
the different shapes of different kinds of trees.  Go outside, or look out your window-
​find an interesting tree and draw what you see. 
Activity #2
Shoes!

Pick out one of your favorite shoes. Find an interesting angle, and draw it!
Want an extra challenge?  Draw both shoes!
Activity # 1
Salt and Pepper Shakers
Find the salt and pepper shakers in your kitchen.
Look at them carefully, ​noticing all the shapes and lines. 
Set the shakers in front of you, and using the paper and drawing tools of your choice,
​draw what you see.
