Colorful Castle


The final new lesson that I will be doing with my students for the Art to Remember fundraiser is a colorful castle. I'm excited to start the year off showing students how to use these two techniques for crayons. I think it will open doors for more creative use for the rest of the year.




Start the conversation out with:

A person who designs buildings is called an Architect. In this lesson, we will all become Architects because we will be designing a castle.  You will have the choice to use realistic or abstract colors on your drawing. We will also be using a couple of techniques while coloring this work of art with crayons. Blending is when you take two colors on top of each other to create a new color. We will also be using plates to create texture on our paper as well.

1. Students will create a drawing of a castle using a pencil then outline with permanent markers.



  

  


2. Students will color in portions of the castle using texture plates.


I really like these Fiskars Texture Plates.


3. Students will color in portions of the castle with blending techniques.


Fill the whole pages with either blending or texture techniques! I love how bright and bold the final project can look!
