Art Prompt 2

Today I would like you to try and create a silhouette painting. A silhouette is an image of a person, an animal, an object or a scene that is represented as a solid shape in one color (usually black).

Step 1: Find some paper. Paint the whole paper to look like a sunset or a sunrise. Use warm colors. Think about how these colors blend into one another as you use them.

Step 2: Allow paper to dry. As it dries start thinking about what kind of silhouette you would like to create in the foreground of your sunrise or sunset. Will it be a tree? A dinosaur? A cityscape? A field of flowers?

Step 3: When paper is dry, lightly draw with pencil your silhouette idea.

Step 4: Using a black marker to color in your silhouette.

I have a few examples attached to this post that I found on online. If you don't have paints, use crayons or colored pencils. BE CREATIVE!

Although these posts are geared towards my K-6 students, I hope you know that I encourage all who want to participate to do so...no matter your age!

Sending you a virtual hug! Love, Mrs. Cornell

Art Prompt 1

Here we go! Our first Crazy Busy Art Room Art Prompt! I thought it would be nice for us to get outside before the rain drops keep us in the house for a bit. Your art prompt for today is to go outside on a nature scavenger hunt. What objects can you find outside that you could use as drawing inspiration? On my hunt this morning I found leaves, pinecones, an acorn, and pine needles. NOW it is time to create! What can you make with these items? Will you do a drawing or painting? Will you glue the items together to create a sculpture? When I finish, I will post my creation. Feel free to post and share your creation with me! I can't wait to see what you come up with!
