Greetings students artists! I hope you enjoyed looking at nature for inspiration last week. Today we will look at how artist use the shape of a heart in their work. A heart can have many meanings including love, friendship and caring. Making art can make us feel better during this time when we are home. There are many options for this project depending on the supplies you have at home. You can create street art with some chalks or a drawing with crayons, markers or paints. The possibilities are endless. Let have fun an create art with a heart.

Street Art Hearts

Pick a spot outside - driveway, sidewalk, stepping stone or wooden fence. All you need is chalk and masking tape to get started.

Gather the chalk and masking tape.

Create heart - use small pieces of tape to make curved line.

Divide heart into smaller shapes with making tape.

Add color and pattern using chalk. Don't forget to repeat the colors.

Art With A Heart

You can also create hearts using supplies around your house - sharpies, markers and colored paper.

Draw heart using sharpie. Make the outline thick then add lines to divide the space.

I used my sketch book for these drawings. Make them any size you want.

Add pattern with shape, color and line.

Don't forget to add your artist signature and date.

Cut out hearts from colored paper. Fold paper in half and cut put half the heart. Make sure the fold is the middle of the paper. Add funny faces using a black marker.
