I'm working on developing several Animal Themed art projects for my Art Camp this Summer. I have always thought a Rousseau inspired project would be fun so I decided to give it a try. Rousseau's Paintings are very dreamlike and primitive. He painted several jungle scenes even though he never traveled outside of France. He wasn't formally trained in art and simply taught himself how to paint. I'll show the students a few examples and then we'll do a directed drawing of the Tiger in pencil on Watercolor Paper. It's pretty simple if you break it up into simple shapes: a circle for the face, rounded triangles for the ears, triangle for the nose, etc... We'll discuss what parts of the tiger are white and what parts are orange, also the stripes down the forehead, across the cheeks and across the chest. They'll outline their final drawing with black sharpie and then using just the orange, paint the outside of the ears, the face and chest, leaving the appropriate areas white. I am going to have them paint along with me - I'll demonstrate and then they can do theirs. I'm not trying to have them copy me, just that they understand how to work with the watercolor. After the orange is dry they can go in with black paint on a fine tip brush and go over the stripes with a ziggy zaggy brushstroke. While they are waiting for the orange to dry we'll cut some leaves and flowers out of tissue paper. The eyes and nose are yellow with a drop of orange put in while it's still wet. If they get it too orange I'll show them how to squeeze the water out of a brush and use it to remove excess color. Now they have practiced a watercolor wash, wet into wet, and removing excess pigment. The final step is to use a glue stick and tissue paper to surround their tiger with jungle foliage. A fierce and fun mixed media project!

I am in love with stained glass. I would sign up in a heartbeat for a glass class if I had the time and money. Alas, I have neither, so I searched out a DIY version. This was really, really fun. And so open-ended. And cheap, too! First step, buy a frame from Dollar Tree. For $1. Next, find a coloring page. I originally wanted to do a mandala, but settled for something simple for my first try. Here is a sampling. Third, follow the steps in this tute. With glue and paint and stuff. I had helpers. I went back over the top with the black paint/glue I love it! Brightens up my kitchen window!
