African inspirations

Description

As a teacher, teaching art, I am always looking for new ideas, inspirations for working with children. In a book I found something similar, but I didn't like what was proposed in the book, so I varied the subject. Instead of the snake I wanted to put the elephant. I put a piece of paper tape to frame the drawing, if I turned to frame it, and I gave it a coat of orange (obtained by mixing the primary colors). I then drew the silhouette of the elephant head directly with a brush and black acrylic and the tusks in white. The remaining decorations are made with cotton swab dipped in black, white and gold.

It has no claim to be a work of art, quite the contrary, yet I like it as a whole and have been told it is "captivating". I'll probably have my pupils do it too, but for the silhouettes I'll probably have to get a snake done or something else.
