What's in your egg?

Surprise!
Imagine you crack your egg on Easter Sunday and it turns out to contain something completely different than egg white and egg yolk ... Draw this fantasy with charcoal on a white sheet. 

Practice first 
Never worked with charcoal? Then practice on a scrap paper first. 

Draw lines, blur them by swiping with your fingers, create shadows, erase the charcoal with a kneaded eraser. Charcoal stains quickly, so clean your  fingers regularly.

1. Draw two halves of an egg. 
2. Draw in between what you imagine is in the egg.  
3. Draw the surrounding. 
4. Fix your drawing with hairspray.

April showers will bring us flowers

What do you need?

1. white drawing sheet
2. water color paint
3. ruler
4. white crayon 
5. paint brush
6. water

Before

Dutch weather in spring is a weather type with showers, alternated with sunny periods. We call those typical spring showers 'Maartse buien' (March Showers), while English meteorologists speak about 'April showers who bring us flowers'. 

In this lesson students have to draw spring flowers (tulips, daffodils etc.) during a rain shower.

 
What should you do?

1. Sketch some spring flowers on a white sheet. Make sure your lines are extremely thin. 
2. Draw vertical lines with one centimeter between them using a ruler and a white crayon. Make sure your crayon has a sharp point. 
3. Paint your drawing with diluted watercolor paint. Use a lot of water to make bright colors. The crayon will resist the water paint, so your shower will be very clear!
