Mr. J. McMillan <> Art Instructor

Welcome to my online art classroom! Each week of our stay at home mandate I will post an art project for each grade level. The lessons will contain all the information you will need to be successful including videos and pictures. I do hope you enjoy these projects and remember to always do your best and have fun.

Just click a button below for your grade level and find the project for the week. Feel free to explore projects for other grade levels as well, most of these projects can be fun for all ages.

Surfboard and Crashing Wave Project

Goal: To draw a picture with a surfboard stuck in the sand and a crashing wave behind it.

MY TEACHING VIDEO IS BELOW THIS TUTORIAL

1. Draw the crest

The first step in drawing a wave is to draw the crest. Start by drawing a horizontal line, slope it down and continue the line.

2. Draw the barrel

Add “C” shaped curved lines on the higher part of the sloped line.

3. Add the whitewater

Start at the top of the wave really small and get progressively bigger as you follow the crest down. Once to the bottom of the wave add a few squiggly lines to add to the whitewater. Connect the “C” shaped lines to the whitewater.

4. Draw the wave

Add a slightly curved line right below where the crest starts to slope.

5. Add your own style

I like to add Heather Brown inspired circles for the whitewater. Connect the “C” shaped lines to the whitewater circles. Decorate your white circles to your artistic visions.
