What You Need:

• 9″x12″ white paper, or something close
• Sharpie markers or black marker
• pencil, crayons or markers

*Start by drawing a curved line across the paper with a Sharpie marker.  Think rolling hill… not roller coaster!

*Add 8 dots across the line.

They should be different lengths apart.

You need a dot close to the edges of your paper.

*Start connecting the dots with bumps.

The lines from the dots close to the edge will go off the edge of the paper to an imaginary dot.

*The lines will eventually go off the top and bottom of the paper .

*Fill the whole paper.

Pick a group of colors you feel work well together (2 or 3 colors).

*Using pencil, crayons, or markers, fill in the spaces. Press harder in the corners. As you get near the top of each bump, press lighter and lighter.

*Continue until the work is complete.

Crazy, right?? How are your eyes?
