Week 3 – Trace and Colour

This is a great simple idea and fun to try at home.

Resources you’ll need

• sheet of paper
• a pencil
• colouring pens or pencils
• lots of different household objects with interesting shapes.

Place the objects on the paper – you might want to plan your picture by placing them all first, or just do one at a time and see what happens.  Draw around one object at a time with a pencil – overlapping the objects can make a good effect.  Colour in the objects, using different colours where they overlap.  Try colouring one colour over another and see what happens.

Have fun – and don’t forget to share your art.  We’d love to see what you come up with!
