Summer memory
- white drawing paper
- watercolor paint
- brushes
- jar with water
- glue
- color pencils
- grey or light brown cardboard
Passed holiday's are always full of memories. Sunset on the beach, a sunny afternoon in the woods or impressive clouds above the sea. What colors belong to that memory? What colors belong to a sunset, to the woods and what colors would you use for the upcoming thunderstorm?
Paint your sheet full with your holiday memories using watercolor paint. Paint strips in different colors. After drying, tear the sheet in strips while following the different colors. Glue your strips with a little space between them on the grey/light brown paperboard. Write a title and decorate the frame with little holiday memory doodles (shells, clouds, flowers etc).
