We have just launched a new website in collaboration with a fantastic artist, Don Howard. It’s called “How to Draw and Paint Smart.” Initial Response to the site so far has been tremendous. It was originally conceived as a resource for Home School kids but it seems a lot of people are looking both fun recreational drawing projects and art instruction. We are going to strive to meet those needs by adding new lessons each week. I had several moms tell me they excited about picking up on drawing skills they have not used since 3rd grade. The want to be able to draw their own birthday adn holiday cards and work on those with thier kids. We are making sure we have plenty of holiday related simple to draw images to help out. It is a joy to be able to draw things and we are excited to share that.
So, If you are excited about free online drawing lessons, check out How-to-Draw-and-Paint-Smart.com and please tell your friends! Post a link in a your blogs, face book pages, and home school networks. Thanks!
Drawing a 5-point star can be tricky to say the least. Here’s how you can get a perfect star every time. wit this technique you can make stars of any size. It’s pretty easy, so give it a try.
1. Use a compass or any round object to draw circle.
2. Find the center of that circle and use a protractor to mark off 72 degree points around the circle. You can use a printable protractor if you do not have one. Since a circle is commonly divided into 360 parts called degrees, we can divide 360 by 5 an get 72 ( so 5 x 72 = 360).
3. Connect the dots to get your star. I recommend using a ruler. If you have a transparent ruler, that can help. You can even use a part of a CD case cover as a ruler or use anything straight.
4. You can also connect the dots to make a pentagon. A 5-pointed star and a pentagon can share the same points.. it just depends on how you connect them.
