SEA SHELL CREATURES / SEA CREATURES

We are continuing with our nature themed art this week but this week it's time to head to the beach! Summer holidays are almost here and the beaches are open again.

If you get a chance to visit a beach, bring a bucket and collect some shells. There are lots of projects below to get creative with.

In the meantime, here are some drawing tutorials for all sorts of sea creatures.

Each picture links to a YouTube video, just click the one you want to see

SHELLS

Remember: you don't need all the bits and pieces that you see in a picture to make your own version. Use paper, play-doh, paint, card, glue, markers, pencils, even old nail polish (with permission!).

Patterned Shells

You could use acrylic paint or even some old nail polish to paint your shells. Just make sure you have permission and you cover the area with old newspaper/cloth.

Sea Shell Collage

Draw or print the shape of what you want to collage, for example, an octopus. Find just the right shells to fill in every curve and corner of your shape just right (that could take a while!). When you're finished, you'll see the beautiful shape of your drawing.

Have fun creating some art with stones this week.

You will need:

  • smooth stones
  • pencil
  • paint (acrylic works best, I usually get some in Mr. Price, but be careful, acrylic paint does not wash out!)
  • a paintbrush
  • permanent marker for outline
  • varnish (only if you want)
