Resources for Kids of All Ages to DRAW

For me, it's day 58 of jobbing and staying home. 

Like most of you, I can get bored. Sometimes, I actually enjoy feeling bored as it's been so rare the last few years. The bored feeling is like when I was 9 years old: forced to stay home and no resources to leave, nothing on TV and no Internet. These days, TV and Internet can be boring. 

Am I the only one that finds most of these Zoom concerts and events boring? Like I'm watching TV and watching other people live? 

Anyway. Back to drawing, and how you can continue or start, lol. 

Most of us have pencils and paper. Our local Instacart uses a lot of paper bags. How about cutting some of the paper bags down and checking out the following links? 

If you want to doodle with some kind of design, these are for you. The links are to tangelpatterns.com which is a fabulous site that started doing some tutorials last month. Here are only two links, but gets you there:

If you are trying to journal, or someone you know is trying to journal, Julie Balzar has kept up an art journal for YEARS. She might go page to page, but she does some back tracking and redesigning and adding of paint or papers. You can find her at https://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/balzer_designs/2020/04/art-journal-every-day-abstract-page.html where she also shows an abstract page. Explore her site for more ideas.

Me? I'm not really journaling these days. I do more like Julie Balzar: add, subtract, glue, write, repeat.
