Materials and equipment: 8 x 10.5" art paper provided by Art to Remember • sky blue paper can be provided • pencils • colored markers.

Step 1: Class discussion about the different seasons of the year. Concentrate on springtime – flowers bloom, the weather gets warmer, grass turns green, trees leaf out, birds return and days are sunny and bright or there might be April showers!

Step 2: Draw your spring picture lightly in pencil. Be sure to have objects close up larger and objects far away smaller.

Step 3: Color with markers using a variety of bright spring colors. Outline some of the objects in your picture for emphasis.
