Coffee cups filled with patterns.

By Tamyra, 7th grade.

The internet is one big source of inspiration.  Not just the famous artists, but also amateurs can be found everywhere.  Pinterest, flickr, etsy, blogger and facebook.  Rummaging through the net has become an addiction to many of my kind: 'the art-teacher'.  This project is inspired on a beautiful piece of art I found on etsty through pinterest. It's by Heather Galler and it is very colorful!

The example by Heather Galler.

What you need:* square piece of paper

Step by step :
1) Divide your paper in 6 rectangles.
2) Trace them with a black marker.
3) Draw 6 cups and saucers.
4) Draw a line behind the cups (table).  Make sure the cups aren't floating in the air.
5) Trace the cups and the line of the table with thick black marker.
