Today, I emptied some marker boxes. I decided to recycle one and draw Zentangle patterns on it. For inspiration, I looked at the handout I will be giving to my 5th grade students to use for their project.
Day 23 - Pretty
Today, I was cleaning out some paint pallets and I decided to to put the leftover paint to use. I went crazy, painting abstract designs, not even bothering to wash my brush. One stroke looked like a flower, and soon a small garden of pretty flowers had appeared.
Day 24 - Rough
One fun thing about acrylic paint is that is thick and can add a lot of rough texture to a painting. This is a corner of my "pretty" painting, that I layered clumps of mostly dried paint.
Day 25 - Lots
Day 25 - Lots
The 2nd graders are learning about Yayoi Kusama. She puts lots of dots in her art. I drew this mushroom by making lots of small dots with a ultra fine point sharpie.
Day 26 - Strong
Mushrooms seemed like a fun theme to continue. This mushroom was painted using very strong coffee.
Day 27 - Hanging
Using a scrap of newspaper that had been used as a messy mat, I created a paper chain of miniature flowers that I could hang.
Day 28 - Brittle
More mushrooms. These mushrooms were drawn of a dry, brittle leaf with a glue pen and sprinkled with glitter. The leaf was so brittle that it was breaking under the pressure of the pen.
