I love the colours, shapes and sparkle of a geode. So we thought we'd try making our own with whatever art supplies we felt like - watercolours, pens (markers) and a bit of bling!
How to make geode art: * You'll need a large piece of thickish paper to start Any sort of watercolour or heavier drawing paper will do. * Get some scraps of paper in colours that work well together. (This can be a good opportunity to talk to kids about the colour wheel, complementary and harmonious colours if you like - colours on opposite sides of the wheel are called a complementary. Colours adjacent to each other are harmonious. A harmonious colour scheme works really well for this project.) * Rip the scraps of paper into a few different sized circle/oval shapes. These will form the centre of the geode so you want them to be increasingly bigger. Three or four pieces is enough. * Stick your ripped paper onto the large piece of paper right in the middle. * Using pens draw around the outline of the largest piece of ripped paper and repeat as much as you like. * You can add watercolour paint the same way (don't be afraid to wet the pen lines that adds to the effect) * We added glitter paint, some sparkling sequins and paint dabs to finish!
