Mizz Mac's Easy Shapes Drawing

Shapely Shapes!!

 When we draw, we draw with 5 lines. When we put the lines together, we make shapes. There are two kinds of shapes we can make- geometric or natural.  Using the two kinds of shapes in a work of art creates interest and contrast. A still life is easy to create with household items.

March winds, Sapelo Island, and Animals Galore

How is the weather where you are? I'm in middle Georgia and the weather has been strange- freezing one minute and warm the next! Yesterday was a cold, rainy day and tomorrow is supposed to be in the 70's!
Last weekend was great weather! I have the privilege of spending one weekend each year with 19 wonderful women on Sapelo Island, Georgia. We laugh and play all weekend and have been doing this for the past 7 years.
    Mizz Mac has posted two new art projects and bundles on her teachers pay teachers store! Mizz Mac's Baby Animal Parade has two lessons based on creating pastel colors:http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Spring-Baby-Animals-Childrens-Art-Projects-1124304

The other posting is about Mizz Mac's Easy Artsy Jungle Animal Art Projects. The 9 art projects are based on the art of Henri Rousseau, Durer, and the Oxacans. My Animals Pinterest board has the visuals for you to use if you choose to.
