HUES, TINTS, SHADES, and TONES of WARM or COOL colors. 




TAKE NOTES:

CRITERIA-

Beginning Art

Fill the space with your name in SHAPE (Box or Bubble) letters.

Advanced ART
You must use drawings to fill up your words and background. 
I will need to see at least SEVEN(7) objects drawn within the design. 
Draw things that you are interested in or  that define you.
(your favorite people, animals, foods, cartoons, places, or common objects in your life.)
If you have room left around the drawings, you can fill those up with patterns & designs. 
Leave NO WHITE! 

SHAPE LETTERS
You will need to FILL IN your name with color. 
You cannot fill in a LINE, so....
You must make it a SHAPE!
Here is how I like to teach Shape letters. I call this method 
"Trace and Erase".

Art Share Fair Summer 2026

 



                                     We started with making name tags and introducing ourselves... 

Then we shared lessons from our classrooms.

and Pop Art Accordian Art.

then accordion fold.

Heather Crain shared Torn paper pictures, Junk Journals, Grateful Garlands, 
and ideas for using plastina clay for mini lessons. 

Candy is sharing lessons with torn paper landscapes. 
She also shared a Monet lesson. 

We took a much needed lunch break at downtown's 
La Waffalata and East Texas Burger. It was delicious. 

We visited Ms. Crain's classroom at the Mineola Middle School 
to rummage though donated supplies. 

Candy's Lesson for Monet Waterlilies using balloons.,


First, teachers are making the water surface backgrounds with pastels. 
Then, we stamp the paper with green paint on balloons.

Liger

Napoleon Dynamite is a fictional character 
with mad skills in numb-chucks, dancing, and drawing. 
He once drew a portrait of a girl that took hours to shade the upper lip. 


But, his favorite thing to draw is the mythical hybrid creature, 
the Liger. 



Skills in Action.... 

drawings
often depict a massive hybrid cat combining features of lions and tigers, ranging from realistic, muscular sketches to stylized illustrations.
Popular interpretations include artistic studies of a lion's mane on a striped, tigrine body, or the iconic "liger" from Napoleon Dynamite. Key details include a heavy build, faint stripes, and a large mane.
