Installation art piece, use the items from your kitchen to create a “food

installation” on the paper plate

No water and with water

Observational Drawing

Draw What YOU See!

Overview: Stay Inside or Go Outside and Draw what you see

Estimated Time: 25 minutes or more if you like

Materials Needed: Paper, pencil and a solid surface to draw upon (book or

clipboard)

Activity Explanation: This activity will help you become a good observer of

the world around you.

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!)

• 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 Drawing

Overview: Stay Inside or Go Outside and Draw

Estimated Time: 25 minutes or more if you like

Materials 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 Art

Overview: Stay Inside or Go Outside and Draw

Estimated Time: 25 minutes or more if you like

Materials 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?
