Lessons for Week of April 20
OPTIONAL Arts Attack Video Lessons
The Art Trek staff is on Spring Break so this week we are going to try out Arts Attack, shared by the Cornerstone Booster Club.
If you don’t have paint, try markers. You can even try blending the marker with a damp Q-tip, brush, or paper towel to get the watercolor effect. Otherwise, using crayons and color pencils to color are just fine.

Brilliant Suns
From The Sun in Art: "innumerable pictures man has made of the sun from the earliest dawn of human intelligence till the present day. Source of light and heat and even of life itself, the sun is richer in pictorial associations than perhaps any other single concept. Man has busied his mind with it over the millennia, carving and incising it in stone, hammering, chasing and engraving it in metal, cutting it in wood, painting and drawing it on parchment, paper and canvas."
