About this School Project (Windy Fall Bears)
In this creative project, our young artists embarked on a journey to illustrate bears in a vibrant fall setting. They began by following a guided drawing session that provided a solid foundation for their bear illustrations. As they sketched, students were encouraged to add their own unique touches, infusing their personalities into each composition.
Throughout the process, artists learned how to create texture and movement using different types of lines. They experimented with various line techniques to depict the softness of the bears’ fur and the rustling leaves of autumn, enhancing the overall dynamism of their artwork.
Once their drawings were complete, artists enriched their pieces with crayons, adding layers of texture and color. They then employed the wax resist technique with watercolor paint, applying it over their crayon designs. This method allowed the wax to repel the paint, creating beautiful contrasts and emphasizing the vibrant hues of fall.
Students focused on craftsmanship as they refined their works, paying attention to detail and ensuring each piece was thoughtfully composed. They learned to create emphasis and focal points by utilizing contrasts of value and color, drawing the viewer’s eye to specific areas of their artwork.
