Younger children can start off by drawing stick figures. In theabove drawings, you can draw a lollipop by adding lines orcircles. I see a man running. But what about the second man?What is he doing? Why are his arms wide open? You can make lots of stick figures. You can draw girl stickfigures too by adding clothes. Or you can draw stick figureswith hair or make them raise their hands, bend their body and

more. Here are some more stick figure drawings.

CircleFigures

You can use basic shapes likecircle, triangle, square, rectangleto come up with simple drawings. The above illustration shows a

Missy the Cat facing you and theother is Mister Rabbit with his backto you.

The Cat: Draw a circle. Add asmaller circle inside the big circle.Make sure the inside circle isplaced near the bottom of thecircle. Then you can add the ears,eyes, nose, whiskers and don'tforget a tiny tail. Meow...Missysays "Be quiet. She wants tosleep."

The Rabbit: Draw a circle. Putinside a small circle near thebottom and part of a circle on top.

Add the ears making sure it’spointed and long with whiskers.’



The Owl and the Clown

The Owl: Draw a circle.

Inside the circle draw twosmaller circles as theeyes. Place a large vbetween the two circlesand a smaller v below. Fillin and complete asillustrated.

The Clown: Draw acircle. Draw two smallcircles as the eyes and

one bigger circle as thenose. Now draw a curvedline into a smile.Complete the face byadding a hat, a frill for the

collar, laugh lines and younow have a happy clown.



There are still many shapes which you can use to draw simplefigures like houses, boats, doors, windows, tables and chairs. It'swonderful how several shapes join together can form things of many kinds.Another is the letter drawing. Using a letter, one can actuallycreate something simple and cute. This can be done by olderkids like the kindergarten students and up.

Basic color schemes- Introduction to Color Theory

With colors you can set a mood, attractattention, or make a statement. You canuse color to energize, or to cool down. Byselecting the right color scheme, you cancreate an ambiance of elegance, warmthor tranquility, or you can convey an

image of playful youthfulness. Color canbe your most powerful design element if you learn to use it effectively.

Colors affect us in numerous ways, both mentally

and physically. A strong red color has been shownto raise the blood pressure, while a blue color hasa calming effect.Being able to use colors consciously andharmoniously can help you create spectacularresults.



The Color Wheel

The color wheel or color circle is thebasic tool for combining colors. The firstcircular color diagram was designed bySir Isaac Newton in 1666. The color wheel is designed so thatvirtually any colors you pick from it willlook good together. Over the years,many variations of the basic designhave been made, but the most commonversion is a wheel of 12 colors based onthe RYB (or artistic) color model. Traditionally, there are a number of color combinations that are considered

especially pleasing. These are calledcolor harmonies or color chords andthey consist of two or more colors witha fixed relation in the color wheel.ColorImpact is designed to dynamicallycreate a color wheel to match your

base color



Primary,Secondary and

Tertiary ColorsIn the RYB (or subtractive) color model, the primary colors are red,yellow and blue. The three secondary colors (green, orange and purple) are createdby mixing two primary colors.Another six tertiary colors are created by mixing primary andsecondary colors.



Warm and cool colors The color circle can be divided into warm and cool colors.

Warm colors are vivid and energetic, and tend to advance inspace.Cool colors give an impression of calm, and create a soothingimpression.

White, black and gray are consideredto be neutral.



Tints, Shades, and Tones These terms are often used incorrectly, although they describefairly simple color concepts. If a color is made lighter by adding

white, the result is called a tint. If black is added, the darkerversion is called a shade. And if gray is added, the result is adifferent tone.

Tints - adding white to a pure hue:

Shades - adding black to a pure hue



Tones - adding gray to a pure hue:

Shades - adding black to a pure hue



Color Harmonies- basic techniques for creating color schemesBelow are shown the basic color chords based on the color

wheel. Complementary color scheme Colors that are opposite each other on thecolor wheel are considered to becomplementary colors (example: red andgreen).

The high contrast of complementary colorscreates a vibrant look especially when usedat full saturation. This color scheme must bemanaged well so it is not jarring.Complementary color schemes are tricky touse in large doses, but work well when you

want something to stand out.Complementary colors are really bad for text.



Analogous color schemeAnalogous color schemes use colors that are next to

each other on the color wheel. They usually match

well and create serene and comfortable designs.

Analogous color schemes are often found in nature

and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

Make sure you have enough contrast when choosing

an analogous color scheme.

Choose one color to dominate, a second to support.

The third color is used (along with black, white or

gray) as an accent.



Triadic color schemeA triadic color scheme uses colors that are

evenly spaced around the color wheel.

Triadic color schemes tend to be quite vibrant,

even if you use pale or unsaturated versions of

your hues.

To use a triadic harmony successfully, the

colors should be carefully balanced - let one

color dominate and use the two others for

accent.



Split-Complementary color

schemeThe split-complementary color scheme is a

variation of the complementary color scheme. In

addition to the base color, it uses the two colors

adjacent to its complement.

This color scheme has the same strong visualcontrast as the complementary color scheme, but

has less tension.

The split-complimentary color scheme is often a

good choice for beginners, because it is difficult tomess up.



Rectangle (tetradic) color

schemeThe rectangle or tetradic color scheme uses four

colors arranged into two complementary pairs.

This rich color scheme offers plenty of possibilities

for variation.

Tetradic color schemes works best if you let one

color be dominant.

You should also pay attention to the balance

between warm and cool colors in your design.



Square color

scheme The square color scheme is similar to therectangle, but with all four colors spacedevenly around the color circle.

Square color schemes works best if youlet one color be dominant.

You should also pay attention to thebalance between warm and cool colors inyour design

This is an apple drawn with oil pastels. Blocks of

color were sketched in to define the shape and form of the fruit,while slight variations in value were also applied in layers. The oilpastel medium lends itself to blending, either with a tool or fingers,which helps create gradient effects. Once the apple was drawn andblended, frantic lines were energetically whipped around andthrough the apple to add a surrealistic perspective.



In working with oil pastels,there are two things tokeep in mind: the roughness of the

surface on which you are painting and thepressure of the strokes.

The rougher the surface, the more broken the colorsbecome. A smoother texture will result a less brokenlook. Applying more pressure to your strokesincreases the intensity of the colors. Increasingpressure also leads to less broken colors in thefinished work.



Use the sides of your oil pastel sticks to

cover large masses of the painting.

Experiment with different stroke pressures to vary the color

density and achieve different effects. Use your judgment and

have fun. If a stick breaks, save the broken pieces.



Use linear strokes for hatching, crosshatching, making outlines or addingdetails. Again, the pressure is the key to control the

intensity of the colors.

If you want to keep an area extremelydark or light, it is important to only usecolors of like tone in those areas.Don't try to tint darker colors with

lighter ones (or vice versa).

For a dark area that has becomemuddied with light pigments, you canscrape off the unwanted pigments andreapply the dark colors. But with light

colors, if you try to scrape off a regionand rework it, you will find that the darkareas underneath still show through. Forthis reason, some oil pastel artistssuggest covering the scraped area withwhite pastel first.



Use a palette knife or a razor blade to create a'sgraffito' effect (the word is Italian, and it means incising). You

can also use soft lead pencils, colored pencils for this purpose. Thistechnique is great for creating fur-like textures on animals.



Scrape areas with a razor to create aghostlike or fuzzy look. As you add layers of oil

pastels on top of each other, the painting can begin to look

too heavy. Scraping off a region before adding morepigment allows you to avoid this problem while still addinglayers. Just as a painting knife is important for an oilpainter, so a razor is the oil pastel artist's friend.
