Art with Ms. Kelly
TREE TEXTURES
Hi everyone! During our last art classes at SWS, the 1st Grade and 2nd&3rd Grade students were learning about the Canadian artist Emily Carr who painted many beautiful forest scenes. The students started a painting project of trees using texture rubbings and tempera paint. (These are still on the drying rack at school). A similar project can be created using crayons, and white copy paper or any white drawing paper you have on hand, and corrugated cardboard.
Website: vanartgallery.bc
Look at Emily Carr’s painting called “Red Cedar”
1. Draw 2 vertical lines to create a large tree trunk that touches the bottom and top of your paper. Draw a horizontal line behind this tree, and add 2 more tree trunks.
2. Place a piece of corrugated cardboard under the tree trunks and use the side of a black crayon to rub on top of the tree trunk shapes.
3. Color the tree trunks using at least 3 crayon colors on each tree trunk, but NO BROWN crayons! Try to make each tree trunk different by layering several colors. Color in the foreground and background with greens, yellows, blues.
If you have some heavier drawing paper or watercolor paper, you can add watercolor over the crayon to enrich the colors!
