You need:
- white drawing sheet A5 size
- black fine marker or Indian ink
- coloured paper for background
Children sketch a simple mountain landscape with grey pencil. Use different patterns to colour the mountains: spheres, lines, triangles, squares, leaves - as different as possible. Patterns can by filled negatively of positively: fill a moutain with circles and colour the space between them with black, so the white circles will remain. Paste the drawing on a coloured background.

I like this! It's so simple/easy and looks so nice too.
ReplyDeleteI'm adding this one to my files.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Zentangles. I had my 4th grade make a practice paper first describing and practicing different designs. This was a great reference tool.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of reminds me of my personal artwork... http://artwithmre.blogspot.com/2009/01/some-of-my-grad-school-art-work-from.html
ReplyDeleteMr. E. your personal artwork of landscapes look great. Maybe I should think about how to bring colour in these ones too.
ReplyDeleteLovely one Jaquelien.
ReplyDeleteI do a similar exercise with the shape of a leaf of a tree.
Thanks for leading me into the blogging community btw. I didn't have a clue about it! I just saw how many followers you have here! Wow. My English one has 6 now (happy with it) and my Dutch one 2 (of which I'm one of them LOL).
Keep up the good work!
