AMIX Day Lesson- Drawing Spring

 Drawing Spring

In the Spring, the Earth seems to be waking up from a deep sleep.
The grass starts growing again, and leaves come out of the trees. There are so many colors! 

We start to notice baby animals... bunnies, deer and birds are some I've seen. Also, some things I don't love happen in Spring, like I start to notice bugs again, but I know that bugs help our ecosystem too.

As an artist all these are very inspiring to me. Are they inspiring to you?

This week can you think about some of the changes you have noticed that happen in Spring?

This video can help you with ideas...

What do you like best about Earth?

When you watch the video, notice all the different supplies they used to create their drawings. I bet you have some of these things around your house.

I think this would be a good idea for me to draw, a mama bird built a nest in my gutter. I've been watching her for weeks carefully building, and now she sits on the eggs all day and all night.

Music helps me with my art too. Here are some songs about birds you might like to listen to while you draw.
