 |
| Start with a circle anywhere on your paper or drawing surface. You can trace or draw because it does not need to be perfect! |
 |
| Add radial lines from your circle. They can be any type of line. Go back and thicken all lines to make them look like they come from the circle. |
 |
| Start choosing patterns to add to each radial area extending from your circle. You can fill in all areas or create a negative/positive pattern. |
 |
| Use all of your different ideas. |
 |
| If you only have a pencil, the project still works. |
 |
| Add a larger circle and use just straight lines. |
 |
| Think about adding color! Here is a warm pattern using colored pencil. You can use crayon or any medium you have handy. |
 |
| Fill in areas as you are inspired. I will post a completed project when it is done. Have Fun! |
 |
| Finally finished and this is my version of "sun." I will post others as I get them done. If you send copies of your work to my email, I will post it in our online gallery! |
