Children can colour the beautiful gems with watercolours. Divided sides provide many opportunities to try different colours. For younger children like preschoolers, you can provide a gem picture dr…
Crystals are stunning and no wonder why so many people wish to be able to create drawings of them from other doodle ideas.Although they might seem as very hard to do, it is much easier
This lesson is sort of like the jewels one I uploaded, it's on the same hardness, but not the same thing. Here is "how to draw crystals
You will be learning here how do draw FORMS (3D shapes). You will be using value on colored paper to make the faces of each form look slightly TRANSLUCENT (light shining through). **Artistic Alternative Draw each crystal on individual pieces of colored paper. Cut and paste! YOU NEED: -5 Geometric Gem forms (fill up the space). -Emphasize the forms (outline with marker or white colored pencil if on black paper.) -Use Value in each face of the forms (keeping contrast with flip flop value) Before you begin, practice Value Scales http://tabithaannthelostsock.blogspot.com/2019/09/value-scale.html Crystal Gems have "faces". For example, the one below has 9 visible faces. This is called "multifaceted", meaning "many faces". Each face will need value that is "flip flopped". The goal is to have contrast, where no two darks touch each other. Try to keep your value scales Take a "S.E.C." to check. Smooth (gradual changes), Even (all values shown evenly) , and have Contrast (very dark and very light).

I tried drawing the crystal forms with crayons and oil pastels, then painting inside the drawing using a Resist Paint Method. Then, I tired using watercolor pencils and watercolor crayons to draw the crystals, the using the wet brush to fill in the gems using the soluble drawing edge. (see both below) After Resist and Water Brush I personally liked the crayon resist method best. It was the least messy and my students have a grasp on the technique from previous projects. Below I am using this method to finalize the projects. You can use what suits you. I googled imaged "Crystal Gem Clipart Black and White" Images in order to help the students draw the geometric forms better on their own. I encourage them to draw bigger and darker with crayons in order to get more color detail when painting and have the wax resist work correctly. _______________________________________________________________________ Example One Before Paint with Construction Paper Crayon Drawing Example One After Tempera Water Paints Example One after cut, glued and added detail Example Two Before Paint, after Drawn with Construction Paper Crayons Example Two After Tempera Water Paints Example Two After Dry, cut and glued down to construction paper Example Two Drawn in more background crystals with Crayons. HIGHLIGHTER and COLORED PENCIL (Option 2) Use highlighter to emphasize the line of the crystal. The thicker the easier it will be to keep the next step clean and neat. Then, Using colored pencils in a contrasting color, create value starting on the ends of the crystal. It should be darker on the ends and lighter in the center to make it appear as though they are translucent.
