People always ask me, "Do your posters print well bigger?"

I think so. I originally make them the size of computer paper, scan them at the highest quality and then print them to whatever size at my local print shop. 

(see above).

Let me give you a PRINT HINT!!!...

I signed up for Walgreens photo, Walmart photo and CVS photo. 

I get coupons for printing out things. I wait for the coupon to be 50% or so and then do my poster printing thing in one swoop each season. This is a good way to save. 

This is what my store looks like from an Iphone

Getting started:

Use lighter color construction paper

Find a colored marker that is similar but darker than the colored paper...

Use white paper that is the same size. 

Fold in half. 

Bottom half only, fold into four. 

With black marker, Draw a city scape on white paper that stays low on top section. 

HINT: Try not to draw buildings too tall here or they will hide the background scene. 

Cut off white are above cityscape. 

Use dots of glue on bottom fold of paper (#4)

Glue this to the back of cityscape. 

Let dry

Background

Draw a landscape or cityscape taller on this top half of paper. Bottom half will be an Arial view of the ground. You can draw roads or plants. 

Add glue to #3&4 and glue to background colored paper. 

Alternative

Fold toilet paper roll flat. 

Open. Match up folds and flatten again. 

You will now have 4 folds. 

Snip the folds about an inch down. 

Fold opposing flaps towards each other then other opposing on top. 

Flatten back doe and decorate with marker. 

Fold construction paper in half. Let top be sky and horizon line. This line is where buildings begin and trees grow. 

The bottom half is the ground. 

Put building Gs on paper and prop against wall or table. 

POP-Up city

Alternative for younger artists: 

Cut around city being careful not to cut off tab at bottom. 

Fold tab back & glue to background .
