Krahn Elementary 2017
Practice drawing a whole sunflower, some from different angles and some with movement.
Then plan out your final design on 2nd half of paper.
Move the idea you planned to larger multi media paper .
After you move your final plan to big white paper.
Outline with Sharpie and Paint.
I added cool shadows first, then painted warmer highlights.
In the end, you cannot tell I used blue so much because the warm color on top neutralizes it.

Another option I will try in future;
Step by Step
Crayon Resist Paper cut-out
Long Sunflowers
For my older students I tried it on longer paper having them go off the edge with the design while using overlapping as well...
Start with pencil and outline with Sharpie...
Students working...
2nd grader (above)
5th graders (above)
I used a white crayon on the top edges of my petals and leafs to make a highlight that would be later resisted by the paint...
Use tempera cakes or watercolor to fill in the flowers and background.
