I always start by sketching out my brilliant ideas in my journal. Nine times out of ten it is really close to my original drawing. I couldn't quite figure out what to do for the background. What materials to use rather. I decided to bring my freezer paper down this morning and I am glad I did. During nap time today, I was reading my book quietly and somehow it hit me. So I got up and got to work.
I cut the freezer paper as best I could to cover the cork board. I drew out a copy of my sketch. Please keep in mind that I am no artist. I merely trust in the finished product that I conjure up in my head and it will eventually appear. I used watered down craft paint, like I explained using in my water color journal last October, and it worked great.
For the dinosaurs, I printed out easy coloring pages and had the kiddos color them. I cut them out and taped them to the scene. Whala! Instant dino environmento!
*Please excuse my pics as I forgot my camera today and had to use my cell phone.
