Art Lesson for May 18-22

Box Drums with an African Pattern

Mr. Watson's music lesson this week is all about drumming.  Have you done it yet?  Your art lesson this week is to paint your box drum with an African pattern.  The pattern should be repeated lines and shapes, something like these:

Step 1: Gather supplies:

- your box drum

- liquid paint (any colors you want)

- a large paintbrush and a small paintbrush

Step 2: Paint the whole box one color with your large paintbrush. I chose black so that it would cover the stickers and tape on the box.

Step 3: Add lines and shapes in a pattern with the small paintbrush in another color.  Look at the examples above, but feel free to make up your own!

Step 4: Take a picture using your new drum and send it to Mrs. Peterson and Mr. Watson!
