Now draw colorful popsicles with Rob at Art Hub for kids. You will need paper and something to draw with. This sure makes me feel like summer!!
Victor Nunes is a retired art director from São Paulo, Brazil. He is known for turning every day objects into works of art, like the ones below. Go on a scavenger hunt in your house to find 3-5 objects. Use those objects to come up with your own drawings! You will need paper and a pencil.
Shadow Drawings- Let’s try another type of drawing using objects we have at home. Find small figures like plastic animals, lego figures, trees, flowers, etc. You’ll need a pencil, paper and something to color with. Take your supplies outside on a sunny day and using the sample below, line your figures on one side of your paper so their shadow is on your paper. Trace around the figures and color. You can add additional details and background if you would like!
David Zinn is a street artist from Michigan who loves to create chalk murals. Watch this video below about his work and then go outside to wee what kind of creations you can make with your sidewalk chalk!
