Splash a bit of colour into your day with these activities suggested by our Art Club tutor, Lisa Christopher, at Forest Arts Centre…
1. Create a colourful animal
You can use any size paper, any pencils, pens or paint to create one of the following animals - they should also feature a rainbow in the background! Why not try and use a variety of materials to create textures and patterns…
- A yellow cow
- A red crocodile
- A pink rabbit
- A purple fox
- A green lion
Here are some fantastic examples of what Forest Art's Art Club have produced at home…
2. Draw a blue elephant…in the style of Franz Marc
Draw a big, we mean a REALLY BIG elephant and colour it in with different shades and patterns of blue…then put your elephant on a space themed background!
Here are two of our Art Club members joining in at home…
