Boot are a BIG DEAL in Texas. Especially at the Houston LIvestock Show and Rodeo. Cowboys and Cowgirls wear boots for protecting and cleanliness when working with livestock. Spurs are worn to help horses stay on task. Boots can be fancy or grungy, depending of the job they have. Boots that have een deisgned more intricately and worked on as one of a kind are the facny boots. Houston has some very creative BIG Fancy boots on the town lawn. These are painted by local artists and are there as artwork for us to see.

The Project

Begin...

Looking at a boot from real life or images from pages, draw a boot and outline it with permanent marker.

Pencil Draw in a background for your boot. It can be a scene, designs, patterns, words or anything related to Texas, Houston, livestock or the Rodeo.
Outline with a sharpie.

Use a pencil to shade around the boot. This will give it emphasis and make the boot appear to be casting a shadow underneath itself. Blend pencil with paper stump or q-tip
Ligtly draw in the idea for your boots decorations. It can be a Texas scene, landscape, deigns, patterns, words, anything...
Color in the boot design with markers, colored pencils or crayons

Begin by drawing a group of cacti very large on paper. Outline the pencil with a black permanent marker. 
 
elementary on left with secondary level on right



 I chose color with a lighter value for my cactus
so that it would not cover all my details....


I chose colors with a darker value for my background
so that it would emphasize my foreground. 

Use the washable Crayola markers to add close spots all over the background. Students are encouraged to use lighter colors on top of black cactus lines and darker in open areas with no lines. This will ensure the cacti to not fade away or become "lost" in the background. 
See darker cooler colors around and lighter warmer colors in middle. 




Wash with water brush. Start at top left and work to bottom right. Mimic like reading a book with your brush swirling in a circular motion...
Onto the drying rack...

Use a medium or dark color that was used in the background to emphasize the cactus and visually separate it from the background. You are done!
