Self-Portraitwith an Animal

Use any drawing supplies you have.

For this activity you will draw a portrait of yourself with your favorite animal/s. This could be a pet or an animal in the wild. Also, you can show the environment in the background to fill your paper with illustration.

Texture Rubbing

Use crayons with the paper peeled off.

For this activity you will find interesting textures around the house or yard. Lay a piece of paper over the texture and then use the side of the bare crayon to rub color over the paper-covered texture, creating a copy of it.

The word texture means: what things are made of and how they feel. Textures can be described as “rough”, “smooth”, “hard”, “soft”, “liquid”, “solid”, “lumpy”, “gritty” etc.

Paper Towel ArtSurprise!

For this fun art trick, fold a paper towel in half and draw something on the front side using a permanent marker. Now open the paper towel and get creative on the back part! Fold it together when you are done and drop it in the water to see the big reveal where the two sides come together when water is absorbed!

Interactive Chalk Art

Use sidewalk chalk, props and a camera.

For this activity you will use sidewalk chalk to create a scene that you can interact with. Then take a picture to document your creation. Click HERE for more information.

Painted "Handimals"

Hand/s, Tempera Paint, OR Makeup (Halloween Makeup, Eyeliner, Lipstick, etc. OR Washable Markers) Brushes, Water, Paper Towels

Your challenge is to find a hand (your own? a family member’s?) and paint on it to look like an animal! If you don’t have paint you can use different kinds of makeup or washable markers! When your work is complete, take a quality photograph in good lighting or even use your animal to create a video "Handimal" puppet performance to fun music.

Inspired by the artist, Guido Daniele

Guido Daniele is an Italian artist who paints on hands and bodies and documents his work in photographs. Daniele’s art has been used in advertisements, particularly for zoos. Tap here for a gallery of his art! Tap here for a video about Guido Daniele

Be a Designer

Paper, pencil or any drawing tools

Fashion designers create the clothes we wear, and Industrial Designers create the items around our home… You can be one too! Look around your home for things that were designed by an Artist (a faucet, a chair, a clock, hats, shoes, table, door knob, etc). Then pick one and redesign it. You can make it look weird, modern, like an animal, etc.
