----------------- Decorative Painting --------------

STEPS TO-----------------------
FOLLOW:
1. Look through magazines or old photographs to
find a person’s image in an interesting pose. (Try
to choose a figure that will have a great pattern
included within their outfit.)
2. Next, practice some symbolic patterns on the
back of this sheet. You will be using these within
the fabric you create, or the backgrounds.
3. You will then cut out the skin tone from your
figure and glue to the manila paper. Create a
patterned fabric outfit for your figure in pencil and
decorate the background with pattern, pattern, and
more pattern.
4. Collage the gold paper and patterned paper
minimally, yet effectively onto your image.
5. Next, come up with a color scheme that will
complement the skin tone of your figure. You will
mix the gold or copper acrylic paint into each shade
you create to give your paint a “shimmer.”
6. You will complete the image with the acrylic
paint for all of the decorative patterns in your
image. Remember, just when you think you have
enough pattern, ADD MORE!!
