Materials: markers and white printing paper
Steps: One-by-one draw a leaf and design it using different pattern lines.
Connect the Lines
Materials: black construction paper, black sharpie marker, glue, paint, water, and white printing sheet
Steps: Start by tearing the white printing sheet into a few pieces of paper, making both small and large sizes. Keep them in order and draw different lines on each torn paper. Next, glue each torn paper onto the black construction paper. As a final finish, mix a bit of paint with water to make water paint, which can then be lightly brushed over the lines.
Photo Frame
Materials: construction paper, glue, marker, scissors, and white printing paper
Steps: Start by cutting the construction paper like the sample above and then gluing it at the centre of the white printing paper. Using a marker to match the colour of the construction paper (or not), make several designs using lines and shapes around the border of the frame.
