Beetle Mania
(see art samples and ideas below)
Supplies needed: 1 sheet of copy paper or watercolor paper, pencil, eraser, water cup, paint brush, paper towel, and medium of your choice: acrylic paint, watercolor palette, markers, crayons, etc.
Find a beetle you would like to draw by using the pages below, in nature or online. Once decided, use your pencil to lightly sketch out the beetle on your piece of paper. Remember to draw the beetle large to fill the page.
Once your drawing is complete, use your medium of choice to color in your beetle. Use colors from nature or jump into your imagination and try something new!
When you begin to paint or color, remember to start with the largest areas first. Then add details and highlights to watch your beetle come alive!
P.S. Remember, Sign your artwork…in a hidden place.
Have Fun!
We would love to see photos of you and your family creating your Beetle Mania!
