You’re invited to a costume party. Draw your outfit here.
This day’s art activity comes right on time considering we are a little over a month away from Halloween. From babies to the elderly, we see people of all ages and walks of life dressed in costumes to the join in the season’s festivities. Get creative with this costume. Even if it’s one that may never become a reality, allow yourself to think outside the box and dream a little. Enjoy some of these cool looks we found..
Find a map of the world showing all the continents. Now imagine you discovered a planet. Draw a map of this new world’s continents.
Give these colors the best descriptive name you can think of. Try not to use the actual name in your description. For example, violet could be called “juicy grape.” Think hard!
Known for her colorful landscape paintings, American artist Joan Mitchell filled her canvases with frenzied brushstrokes.
Try painting like Mitchell. Using paint and a small paintbrush, fill the frame using quick, short brushstrokes in all directions and plenty of color. Use this Mitchell painting as an example to help.
If you don’t have a canvas at home and are going to paint in your sketchbook, use the entire page as your frame. Or you can use the printable below for the image of a blank canvas to paint on.
What was the most memorable thing you saw today? Why was it memorable? Write your answers here:
I know this may not seem very artsy, just writing down what you saw, but I think the focus is more on the image of that moment. Something about that moment was noticed by you, the image is still there if you close your eyes. What were the details that caught your eye? If you are like me and just need to create, draw the image you remember after writing your answer.
Fill this square by choosing a single letter and drawing it repeatedly in different sizes, directions, and styles until there’s no more room.
Since we are doing this in our own sketch books, you can either draw a square on our sheet or use your entire page! Have fun with it, maybe use different mediums or colors.
Using colored markers, draw a guitar using only straight lines.
