Cinco e Mayo quilt pattern

What is Cinco De Mayo?

This is a beautiful quilt made inspired by Cinco De Mayo!

 This is the plan for the design for our version of a paper 

Cinco De Mayo quilt. 

 There is a simple one for the older kids to add their own designs to before they color. 

For the younger kids, i made one a little more detailed with a zig zag for them to color. 

 We used crayons to color our desgins. 

 The design can be mounted to a background piece of construction paper. 

You can use a hole punch to add areas for string to decorate the edges of the artwork. 

Citrus Study

ARTIST OF INSPIRATION

ELOISE RENOUF

What do you see in her designs?

Repeated Objects in various forms.

Transparent and Opaque overlapping each other. 

Color Schemes in each piece. 

What would you do if you had her style? 

You can pick your subject (advanced classes) 

or you can go with 

Lemons as your subject (like below). 

 Study the anatomy of a citrus fruit. 

Going over vocabulary will help out more when drawing the fruits. 

Slice, wedge, segment, zest, pulp, walls, etc.

LET"S GET STARTED

Remember Eloise Renouf's Style.... 

Drawing the same object in various forms, 

Playing with transparency and solid forms of the object. 

Layering the object on the paper. 

1. Choose a COLOR SCHEME

Pick 3-4 colors you want to use for your picture. 

2. Choose your paper color. 

Use white or a color that is in your scheme. 

 

3. Draw an assortment of citrus with pencil in variations of Slices, wedges, or whole. 

4. Outline them with marker in colors of your scheme. 

If white, use a Prisma Color white. 

5. Draw same citrus blend on colored or white paper. 

Outline with a marker, cut out and glue down to background paper.

Alternative Method

Drawing on white paper. Outline with Sharpie. 

Highlight with non washable white crayon. Online with washable markers. 

Paint with wet brush...

Another idea...
Leave the lemons black, white and grey.
Use marker to add spots to the background and do a water brush blend.
Looks beautiful.

Crumbled Citrus  Batik
https://tabithaannthelostsock.blogspot.com/2014/05/tempera-crumbled-batiks.html

Draw with Pencil

Outline with Sharpie

 Color Hard with crayons (non washable)
Anything white must be colored white as well.

Crumble up picture 3 times and crush into a tight ball each time. \

Smooth out on surface. 

 Cover with a layer of brushed on black tempera paint.

 Water down the paint and sponge off leaving only paint in the stained cracks.

Great videos for an ART smart start

Use purple, blue, pinks and reds to make a sky back ground. 

THese colors will help the bumble bees stand out. 

I show the class a variety of bee pictures, cartoons and clipart images. I explain that a BEE can be drawn in many different ways. I showed the 2 ways to draw the bee. As an insect, it has three segments. But most drawings are done with one oval or a circle head with an oval body. 

Begin on yellow paper drawing your bees with a pencil. Outline the body with a marker.
