#031 Color Shapes

Hi,

I'm so glad you've joined me for a WEEKLY summer art challenge. These will post on Monday mornings June 6 to July 11. We will focus on an aspect of the element of color. Color can be used by young and old, experienced and those new to the topic. I want you to look around your home and explore the outdoors to find subjects for your drawings and paintings. When we look at actual objects, we see more information than we can imagine! Use that information in your art. 

Your art materials will be colored paper, scissors and glue. 

Enjoy Color Drawing and Painting!

YOUR COLOR CHALLENGE

Your Challenge: Look at three trees or plants of different SHAPES. Draw the outside edge of each tree as one shape on a colored piece of paper. Cut it out and glue onto a sheet of colored paper. Draw a few leaf SHAPES. Cut them out and glue inside the tree shape, as shown in the video. Study the leaf carefully and notice the details before you draw it. 

Challenge II: Use less simplification of the shape to draw a more realistic outline of a tree. Then,  draw more leaf shapes in the highlighted areas of the tree foliage, for a more realistic look.
