Lockdown Activities - Free Choice

Today I was at home doing activities and I thought about doing some art. I used tape on white paper and made some shapes. I carefully coloured them in and here is the result:



It wasn't the best but at least it wasn't the worst, some parts of the paper kind of ripped. I thought this was really fun to make and it does take some time so just be patient. I just got inspired and decided to try this at home. You could try it too!

You need - Paper, tape, any sort of colouring object (paint & brushes, crayon, pastel, colouring pencils, markers) 

Here are the steps on how to do it:

First step: Put some tape onto the paper, whether it is going straight, crooked or diagonal and make random shapes (keep the tape straight though!)

Second step: Colour the boxes in one by one with different colours (the tape is there if you accidentally go over the border) (Try not to use chicken scratching / Go 1 direction when you are colouring in)

Third step: Slowly peel the tape off (it's okay if it rips a bit) and voila! You made the art!

  1. Good on you Nicole - I can see that you would have needed patience to colour in the panels so successfully. Good technique. You have applied that 'colour' nice and thick and kept not used 'chicken scratching' (when you colour one way, and then go the other way). I love the creativity - what's the project for this week? Thank you for sharing on your blog.
