Let's Create Pinwheels!

Let's make pinwheels! I'll show you a couple of different ways. For pinwheels that move, you'll need:
* Two pieces of paper
* A pushpin or thumbtack
* A pencil with an eraser
* Scissors and glue

If you don't have a pushpin or a pencil with an eraser, we can make one that doesn't move with a popsicle stick instead (or a ruler, a strip of cardboard, you name it!). 

Have fun! 

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!
