  3. Take the 30 day drawing challenge as a family – see the visual prompt poster at Cultura Colectiva
  4. Start an art journal – check out Schulman Art for inspiration and ideas

      Enjoy 🙂

  4. What a lovely collection of summer drawings for kids! I love how you used different techniques and materials, such as watercolors, oil pastels, collage and chalk. The drawings are so colorful and cheerful, and they capture the essence of summer. My kids enjoyed following your step-by-step instructions and they had fun creating their own summer scenes. Thank you for this inspiring post!
