It's good fun creating pictures by forcing yourself to only use one shape. Have a go!
You will need:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You could draw around plates, cups or reels of sticky tape to create circles. But here's how to make your own compass. Just cut a strip of cardboard box card and carefully push a noticeboard pin in through one end. Make sure your table is protected with cardboard or thick newspaper! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make a few pencil holes along the strip at varying distances. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Place the compass in position by pushing the pin through the piece of paper, wherever you'd like the centre of your circle to be. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then put your pencil through one of the holes, and drag it around so that you draw a circle! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keep building your circles up, using different holes along the compass, so that they come out different sizes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
They can overlap as much as you like - and you're left with a sort of manic bubble effect! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you're happy you can colour your pattern in, using whatever you like. Do a section at a time, in different colours. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The idea is to build your picture up - but never do the same colour in adjoining sections! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
When your picture is coloured in, it'll look a bit like this. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can create all sorts of patterns going round in circles. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You could even try a minimalist one like this! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or why not go really crazy and do a big mad one with lots of patterns within it! Try it yourself! |
