Our first Art Camp theme of the summer was Butterfly Gardens, so we made these amazing 3-D layered flowers.
Then we made beautiful butterflies to visit our garden flowers!
To get started, we taped a piece of watercolor paper to a painting board. Then we painted a very blurry watery background (using cake temperas) and allowed it to dry.
Next, artists traced three of four circles, from large to small, and painted them. Then they cut them out and created any type of petals desired along the edges of the circles.
Then they layered and glued them onto their backgrounds.
The next step was to scrunch up a few bits of tissue paper and glue to the flower center for added texture and realism.
Some artists added some implied texture and detail to their flowers using Sharpies.
Everyone had fun and looked forward to creating their butterfly visitors!
