Mixed Media Treehouse - 5/13/14

Our late spring session begins with a mixed media piece.  Mixed media refers to multiple mediums being used.  For this project students will use the following medium: paint, crayons, markers, oil pastels and paper.  We will use color, line, texture and shape some of our seven elements of art found in every art work in some combination.

Students will create a textured background with paint.  We will do a quick drawing lesson on trees and then create one out of paper adding details with oil pastels or crayons.

We will look at some photos of tree houses.  Students will draw and color a simple tree house and cut it out.

Final touches such as a ladder and leaves will be added.  This project will most likely be finished in week two.
