Tip!
Another idea is to use a shape and make it into something else. For example, use the outline of a dog to make a space alien or monster instead.
Tracing Art Technique
Use this tracing art technique and embark on a creative voyage. The fun comes when you color in your trace-marks, using imagination and wild designs.
You can trace any picture without tracing paper. Pick a picture from a magazine that you want to trace, and cut it out -- ask for permission first.
What You'll Need:
- Old magazines
- Blunt scissors
- Lightweight white paper
- Masking tape
- Black felt-tip pen
- Colored pencils or markers
HOW TO DO THE TRACING ART TECHNIQUE:Step 1: Tape a picture with a piece of paper over it on a window. You can see the outline of the picture through the paper.
Step 2: Use a black felt-tip pen to trace the outline of the picture. Take the picture and paper off the window.
Step 3: Now add your own details to the outline, and color them in.
If you traced a picture of a dog, then draw and color in the eyes, a nose, the fur -- or whatever else you want to add.
