Watercolor Lanterns- Painting I/II

Tuesday Painting started watercolor lanterns.  They created their paper using liquid watercolors, salt to create a starburst effect and plastic wrap to create "folds".

Wednesday they applied the pattern to the lanterns and started applying zentangles to them.  They could do the entire lantern or part of the lantern with patterns.

Here a photos of the steps in creating the lanterns.

Step 1- Painting with the  salt and watercolors

Step 2- Adding the pattern to the back- cutting it out and folding so you know where to zentangle.

Step 3- Zentangling at its finest.

More zentangling

Step 4- Putting them together.

LINE- Drawing and Design

LINE in art is like letters in words and numbers in math............

What we are learning about-

Line is the most basic element of art!
What is Line quality?
How can you show mood with line?


Create a 2x2 grid in the first 2 pages of your sketchbook:

Show me the following types of lines:

Wave

Brick

Circle

Zig Zag

Triangle

Star

Scales

Weave

Thick

Spiral

Curves

Thin

Angry

Sad

Confused

Happy

Music- what kind ?  Hard rock vs Classical 

You may use any materials you like to show me these lines-  Your goal- to be DIFFERENT than EVERYONE else in the room!  Why........................artists need to think OUTSIDE of the BOX!
