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!

The only rule to this drawing is that your pencil CAN NOT come off the surface of the paper when you are drawing the continuous line.Idea Examples: (Don’t limit yourself to the list…expand your vision and just draw…it is the process that helps you become a better artist and above all ENJOY!)

Continuous Line Drawing Example 1:

Start at the top left -hand corner of the paper, place your pencil or marker on the paper and begin to draw a continuous line that moves throughout the paper without touching itself or crossing itself at any point (see sample below)Now draw 3 large shapes on top of this continuous line and color in with crayon or marker the spaces the lines make within the shapes (see the sample below)

Continuous Line Drawing Example 2:This time find a toy or a plant (something that will sit still- Still Life)Remember the rule for this type of drawing…the pencil CAN NOT leave the surface of the paper while you are drawing!While you are looking at the object you chose to draw, follow the edge of the object with your eyes and move your pencil on the paper as your eyes move over the object…move SLOWLY with your pencil drawing as your eye traces the object. Ok…my cat Maxfield was sitting still!

Roll A Monster GameOverview: Stay Inside or Go Outside and Draw Estimated Time: 25 minutes or more if you likeMaterials Needed: Paper, pencil, crayons or markers and a solid surface to draw upon (book or clipboard or table if indoors) and a die (if you don’t have a die to roll, cut a piece of paper into 6 pieces and put a dots on each piece from 1-6 and instead of rolling a die, shuffle the papers and pick) Die paper attached below to print outActivity Explanation: This activity will help you explore different fun combinations in drawing…mix and match of parts of a monster where each time you play the game you get a new monster.Idea Examples: (Don’t limit yourself to the characters you see on the board…expand your vision and just draw and create your own game board…it is the process that helps you become a better artist and above all ENJOY!)
