Rock Portrait or Landscape

Hello Everyone!

Today we are going to create a portrait or a landscape artwork by using what we find in nature! This is a great project for any FPLS student or family member.



Materials:
Rocks (lots of shapes and sizes)
A fine point sharpie
Hot Glue
A 'canvas' (A canvas really is anything that you choose to make your artwork on-nothing fancy)

Step 1:
Find your inspiration stones from your yard, drive-way or woods.

Step 2:
Bring in all of your stones and start placing them together. You will notice that some of the stones will seem to fit together to create a little picture on their own. Or you may choose stones that help represent a concept that you had in your mind. Both ways are productive, both ways are creative!

Step 3:
Once you have found your placement, simply hot glue the stones in place to your canvas.

Step 4:
Using your fine point sharpie add lines of interest (such as the balloon, legs and arms lines above. It may be a good use of your time to sketch out what you would like to do prior to adding them to your artwork.

Words to note:

Landscape- A picture of the land. The artwork may depict a tree, a carnival anything that incorporates the landscape. 
Portrait- A picture of a person or people. (Just like the example above!)

As always, have fun and be creative!
