Watercolor and ink birds, ages 10 - teens

This is a great project to let the students get a feel for wet on wet watercolor technique. They also got to  use patterns/zentangles to add another layer of interest. Great job!

Pen and Ink Silhouette Drawings-teen class

We looked at some examples of scherenschnitte, which is german for cut paper art. We did not cut paper but took pen and ink on illustration board to create the feeling of this art. I hope to do the project again when we have the time to actually plan and cut the paper. Till then, enjoy the wonderful whimsy of these designs.
