*If you have been sad lately that is OKAY. Some days I've been bummed out too. I miss my art students and my friends. To help myself feel better I started a gratitude challenge. You are invited to join my challenge. Keep a gratitude sketchbook. Every day spend 5 minutes drawing a picture of one thing you are grateful for.

Spring Bear

Project Expectations:

Time expectations based on previous art lessons:

Draw background: 30 minutes-1 hour

Draw fox: 30 min.

Add texture to fox: 1-2 hours

Cut and glue: 30 minutes- 1 hour

Step 1: Draw Bear

Using a pencil draw the bear. Do not print and do not trace. Draw what you see.
Trace the bear with sharpie.
Color the eyes and nose black. (Follow the coloring rules.)
Using a pencil divide the bear into sections using stripes.

Step 2: Add Texture

Texture is the way something feels. A bear feels fuzzy.

Using a sharpie create short dashed lines in each striped section.

Step 3:

On a separate sheet of paper draw flowers using markers.

Step 4:

Draw stems with crayons.

Step 5:

Paint water on top of your flowers. The marker will blur and look like watercolor paint.

Ta-Da! The background is finished. Let it dry

Step 6: Cut and glue your bear.

The black & white vs. the colorful flower background create CONTRAST.

Option 1- Printmaking with Bubble Wrap

Materials:

Bubble Wrap
White Card Stock or Construction Paper
Yellow and Orange Paint (we used Tempera paint)
Paintbrush
Scissors
Yellow and Orange Construction Paper (optional)

Option 1- Printmaking with Bubble Wrap

Directions:

Cut a sheet of bubble wrap to match the size of your white card stock or paper.
Paint the bubble wrap.
When the bubble wrap is completely coated in paint, grab a sheet of white card stock or paper, and place it on top of the painted bubbles, pressing down firmly on the entire sheet of paper.
Carefully remove the paper, turning it over to reveal the beautiful beehive bubble print. Set aside to dry completely. Repeat for more paper.
Once the paint has dried, grab your scissors and start cutting hexagons out of the bubble-printed paper. For an extra punch of color and dimension, feel free to glue each hexagon onto a piece of yellow and/or orange construction paper. Leaving a border of solid color, cut out the hexagons again.
