Beach Roses Coastal Scenes Inventions - lesson
Topic: Art Class
Beach Roses scenes inventions: student drawings & exercises, and demo art. Adult art class, 7/14/14

Draw lines of repeated marks. 
Draw two waving lines like paths - of  varying paths. Place the marks, one kind to a line, on the lines like a necklace. 
Re-create those lines, those necklaces without the guidelines. 
Make two largish organic shapes, with an outline, and fill them in with one of your marks - a different mark for each shape. Re-create those shapes using the marks, but no outline, and no outlining with marks either. 
Re-create those shapes again coloring them in with green, leaving white spaces where there would be flowers, so you're really just filling in the background -  and again no outlines. 
Final drawing: draw a margin around the edge of the paper so that you stay off the edges. Do a very quick continuous line drawing of an imaginary landscape. Color it in quickly - use marks if you like, symbol marks, calligraphic marks.
