It has been the season for teaching, this time for my son’s 2/3 grade class. There were many cool examples on line, but I ended up creating my own to customize the principles I wanted to include. The kids really got into it and most of them needed more than an hour to finish.

If you are an art docent or homeschooling, this lesson was a breeze to clean and set up and here are the slides and instructions.

If you want to start drawing or enjoy doodling, this was a fun process. Give it a try, you probably have all the materials already. Click on the picture to access the instructions.

I encourage you to take an hour for yourself and see if you can recognize your name once you are done.
