Mrs. Miller’s Demonstration...

Landscape Drawing

Materials: Paper, Pencil, Markers

1. Draw a simple landscape that fills your paper with

many different layers. Rocks, grass, hills, water, mountains,

trees, sunset, clouds etc… Draw each area as a shape and

leave it open/white inside. Fill your space with many

sections of the landscape.

Please draw a foreground, middle ground and background.

Be creative. Please refer to my

example, but do not copy.

2. Outline the landscape with a dark marker or sharpie.

3. Fill each section/shape of the landscape with a pattern or

design to create the texture of each section. Use colored markers

to add color to the textures.

Please watch...Mrs. Miller demonstrates adding color and texture.

Fill the entire picture.

Starburst Zentangle Design

 

Materials: paper, pencil, ruler or straight edge,

pen, colored pencils or markers

Directions:

1. Place 2 dots 3-5 inches apart in the center

of the paper. Connect the 2 dots, with the ruler,

to create a horizontal line segment.

2. Draw 15 to 20 dots all over the paper

(dots may not be along the horizontal line

segment and area if the line segment were

extended to the edge of paper). The dots

should be scattered around on the paper

(some should be near the edges), spread

them out! These will be the points (angles)

on the design. The fewer the dots, the larger

the sections of the Starburst. 

3. Use a ruler for every line segment.

(Students have a tendency to want to draw

segments free-handed. A straight line is needed.)
