Art Techniques

Drawing with Crayons

Crayons are bright and easy to use.
Hold the crayon like a pencil.
Press gently to make light lines.
Press harder for dark lines.
You can draw shapes, animals, or anything you imagine.

Painting with Watercolors

Watercolors need paper, paint, and a little water.
Dip a brush in water, then in paint.
Touch the brush to the paper and watch the colour spread.
Mix two colours to make a new colour.
Let the paint dry before you add more.

Making Collages

A collage is a picture made from many small pieces.
Cut out paper, fabric, or stickers.
Glue the pieces onto a bigger sheet.
Arrange them to form a scene or a pattern.
Have fun creating a new picture from many tiny parts.
