Art Adventures - Marimekko

Art idea for today: Marimekko designs
Marimekko is a Finnish company that has been around since the 1950s, and is famous for bright, eye-catching designs like the ones here.


WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
Paper or cardboard for the base
Coloured paper or crepe paper
Glue

1. Cut out big, bold flower shapes in one or two colours and paste them all over the base page. Don't be afraid to go over the edges, it looks great! Just cut off any extra bits.

2. Cut out circle shapes in a different colour and paste those in the centre of the flowers, and then do the same with smaller circles (in another colour still).

3. Add some small cutouts here and there for the stems, and - voilĂ !



Remember:
If you want to show your art to the world, email me a photo of your art at: daisiesn@yahoo.com.au and I might feature it on the blog! Please include your name and age, and any info about the work you'd like to share.
