Earth Day Art Lessons: Earth Without Art Poster!

Ending this week of Earth Day Art Lessons with this Earth Without Art Poster! In this short video, I'll show you how to draw your palette earth and do this fun printing technique! Here are the supplies you'll need:

For Drawing: 
* Paper
* Permanent Marker

For Coloring:
* Crayons

For Printing:
* Foil
* Markers
* Damp Sponge

When you get ready to print, it's important to make sure your paper is pretty damp. If it is too dry, it will not pull the marker from the foil. However, you can just try it again! Redampen your paper and print the foil once more. If you don't have a sponge, a spray bottle of water works great too. Have fun!

Earth Day Art Lessons: Salt Dough Earth!

Yesterday, during our LIVE art class on my Facebook page and my Instagram, we created a Salt Dough Solar System and it was a crowd favorite! In case you missed, that video will be posted to my YouTube channel later today (to stay up to date on art makin' videos, you might want to subscribe!). I decided to take that same idea and create this Salt Dough Earth project. Let me walk you through how to make salt dough clay with just 1/2 cup of flour, 1/4 water and a 1/4 of salt. We used food coloring to create the primary colors of clay. If you don't have the ingredients, don't worry, use Play-Doh or another type of clay instead. I also use a piece of cardboard, crayons and a marker. Here we go:
Have fun!
