Sharon Hofer taught Alyssa about the art technique of stippling. This particular drawing was done using a fine black Sharpie marker, black ink pen, and then it was enhanced with colored ink.
The Blue Jay project was divided into 3 lessons. Each lesson was further broken down into video segments with step-by-step instructions.
I was very impressed with Alyssa's dedication to the project and with the results. She was upset about the wing being too short.
I will link this post up at the Virtual Refrigerator Blog Hop and at A Net in Time and Hopkins Homeschool's Blogging Through the Alphabet Linky. Come check out the Letter I posts this week!
Neat blue jay (hmm.. topic for letter j?) :) My lad gets upset when he art doesn't turn out just right as well.
ReplyDeleteThat looks terrific! I see she used some stippling in the project, too.
