Week 7- "Tube Butterfly"
Supplies- toilet paper tube
large white paper
dark crayon
markers
scissors
glue
The tube will be the butterfly's body. Draw two circles for eyes on your tube. Use a bright color marker to color the rest of the tube. Color the eyes black.
Draw a large uppercase letter B. Make it a bit taller than the letter tube.
Cut this out, then trace it and cut this one out. These will be the wings.
Color the wings in with more than one color. You can also draw shapes and designs to color in.
Glue the wings to each side of the tube. You can use scraps to add antennas if you like. When the glue is dry you can fly your butterfly by hand to so many places!
WEEK 7- "Handi-Art
Supplies- hands
large paper
crayons
Place your paper the tall or wide way. With a dark crayon trace hands all over the paper wiht space in between. Some hands can be open some can be closed. Hands can be up or down, sideways or with 1 to 4 fingers sticking out.
As you turn your paper in different directions, notice how your ideas begin to form. You might find an elephant or octopus, cats, dogs, fish, or rabbits, cars and trucks. There are so many possibilities! Add details with a dark crayon.
Color the art work in with crayons.If the background is filled in with a pleasing color, it will enhance your artistic ideas. Share your results with family and friends.
WEEK 7- "Biological Illustration of a Plant or Garden Growing"
Supplies- large paper
pencil and eraser or dark crayon
colored pencils or markers
Biological Illustration is hard for me to say. Can you say it? It means drawing from nature, which can also be from pictures or videos of nature. Fold your paper into four or six parts depending on how many ideas you think you can observe about a garden growing.
Some of these ideas may be of a seed sprouting. Or if there is a transplant, the plant can be drawn, dirt, roots, and all, before it goes into the ground.
For example, some of the segments of your paper may show first leaves, then stems and more leaves. Eventually there may be blossoms to draw depending on what plant you choose to follow.
This is an art project you would continue from week to week to record the progress of a plant in a garden you started or saw on a video. If you are following a video, you could be finished in a day. Good Luck with your biological illustration!
WEEK 7- "Bubble Print Pictures"
Supplies- dish detergent
pie plate
water
straw
favorite food color
several sheets of 9"x12" paper
Fill the pie plate about two thirds full with water. Add a few drops of food coloring, a squirt of dish soap and stir gently. You don't want to create any foam, because foam kills bubbles. Have another plate ready with a different color if you like.
Place the straw into the water mixture, be careful not to inhale, and gently blow bubbles until the plate is covered.
Carefully hold your paper over the bubbles and lower it to cover the plate. Gently lift and see your bubble print. Put it aside to dry. You can create more bubbles and print more than one paper.
When the prints are dry, look for shapes and forms you would like to cut out to glue onto another paper. You can overlap or not. You may add details with crayon or not. This can become a very pleasing design to decorate a special place in your home.
