Night Flight


Need large night colored paper
 (blue, black, or purple), brown small square paper, primary colored circle papers, construction paper crayons, black marker, scissor & glue. 
Inspiration for sky...
Van Gogh's Starry Night.
Not realistic starts, but IMAGINATIVE!


Turn paper landscape direction. Use CP crayons to create a night sky just showing the tip tops of trees on land. 

Draw curved contour lines on balloon going across. Draw designs and color. Draw lines on basket to make it look woven. 


Glue balloon and basket onto night sky background and draw lines connecting them on paper.

Draw 3 balloons various sizes with the smallest closest to horizon.
(adds depth and space)
Add details to balloons and show the top of the landscape
(just the peaks of mountains, houses, trees to add height)
Color the biggest balloon and landscape with crayons
 (do not use washable crayons). 

Washable Marker Spots/Patches/Scribbled evenly spaced out in background.

The further they are spaced out. the lighter the background will be.
Personally, I think it looks better the tighter the spots are together because it is more saturated with intense color.
After the back ground is colored with the markers, I go around the outside of paper with a thick line of marker too. Sometimes the edges of the paper get forgotten.
Use a water brush to blend the colors together.
Areas of crayon (if done hard enough) will push away the water color.
This can look really nice if you used white crayon for special details.
HINT:
Choose a color scheme for a blended sky (warm, cool, or family related). Use washable markers in that scheme for the sky. Color in a patchy spotty scribble pattern all over background. Wax Crayon will resist the water based markers! 

When entire sky is covered, use a wet watered pAintbrush to go over sky and end the colors. They will "burst" together. 
Let dry... 

I drew smoke with the white crayon before the mArker... See the resist effect? 
Use colored pencils to color the last 2 balloons in background. They will be blended in with the sky somewhat to give it an "atmospheric perspective" appearance.

The combo of all 4 pastels is just a way for me to display how each color looks. Students will choose 1 pastel corvpaper to draw 3 hot air balloons of varying sizes (1large, 1 medium & 1 small). 
At the bottom edge of paper, just the tips of the landscape will show to add a sense of height to the picture. 
Depending on chosen paper color, students will use a white and darker version of paper color ( green, blue, red, or golden/light orange) to shade and highlight parts of balloons, clouds, and landscape). 
We are done! Ready for take off ;)

Another idea...
Use patterned paper (scrapbook paper is the best) to cut out an odd number of different sized circles.
Glue them onto a landscape turned page.
Draw curved lined up and down and across the balloons (as instruction show above) to turn circles into forms. Add baskets beneath outlining all lines with a black marker.
Add the tip tops of the trees and clouds to give a sky high appearance to the picture.

Understanding perspective from a handmade model...
