PAPER AIRPLANE TOMS

Today I had a professional development meeting with all the art teachers in our district.  We painted shoes.  I bought these pretty blue-green TOMS and I decided on a design I could easily control.  Something with clean lines and simple symmetry so that little mistakes wouldn't be as noticeable, because of course, I really wanted to be able to wear them.

I decided that paper airplanes would be fun and fill those criteria.  Side note - I love paper airplanes as a doodle, but I HATE them in my classroom.  They just look like disrespectful boredom .... I cringe whenever a student makes one!

I used a tiny bit of gesso and Painters paint markers in black and silver for the shading.  I love the way they turned out!




I just love being able to do my own artwork for myself! Happy Friday!
