COFFEE (or tea) CRITTERS
Make art with South Haven Center for the Arts teaching artist Katrina Jones.
Ask a grown-up to make some strong coffee or tea for a fun art project. Coffee rings or soggy teabags make fun designs on paper that you can turn into fun critters by using your imagination.
Try dropping a teabag onto a piece of paper . . . SPLAT! . . . and let it sit there for a few minutes (to get darker) and then remove. Let it dry and create! Or while your puddle is still wet, blow on it with a straw.
Or, set a coffee cup in a saucer of coffee and then set it on a piece of paper. You can even wiggle it around a bit to make some different designs.
Use your imagination.
Here are examples of some critters made from coffee/tea stains, just done in pencil or a fine black marker. You can use colored pencils or pens or anything!
Share your creativity with us, post your Coffee and Tea critters on www.facebook.com/southhavenarts or send them too info@southhavenarts.org.
