Product Description
Learn to draw a simple landscape and discover Elli Poo paper!
This lesson has an interesting origin. It began when an American traveler met a paper maker in Sri Lanka, and the two of them decided on a way to save the elephants native to Sri Lanka—by making paper out of elephant poo!
If you want to learn the rest of the story, visit the Mr. Elli Poo website. The picture for this lesson is from a greeting card made of paper from the Elli Poo LLC, the company these two gentlemen started.
The lesson begins with a practice drawing of just the elephant in the picture. The guided lesson shows how to create depth as you draw the entire landscape. The chalk pastels are satisfying to beginners who want to apply a simple coat of flat color and to more advanced students who are interested in color mixing and a greater sense of dimensionality.
The lesson suggests using construction paper, but if you can get Ellie Poo paper, try it! It makes a great surface for chalk pastels.
This lesson includes both POWERPOINT and VIDEO versions of the lesson plus 2 downloadable printouts: a warmup and a drawing of the elephant and landscape.
Approximate Time to Complete the Art Class:
- Introduction through guided drawing: 30 minutes
