What is a symbol of your roots or a symbol of yourself in a community?<\/h5>\n
1 – Create tiles of Different Styles<\/h2>\n
This is your palette for the painting. Setting some limits for the painting makes all the sections come together.<\/p>\n

\n2 – Simple Drawing\/outline<\/h2>\n
Create a simple drawing that gets the general shape. I drew a tree, but you can choose any simple icon. Things to think about:<\/p>\n

- Make sure you don’t have little details.<\/li>\n
- Think about how to organize the tiles you designed in this drawing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n3 – Designing the Tilework on your Drawing<\/h2>\n
Draw the tiles with Pencil<\/h3>\n
1. Use small tiles to outline the important pieces (but not too small, try no smaller than 1\/2 inch square)
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.artonsedgwick.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/step-9.jpg\")
<\/p>\n2. Fill in the rest with tiles of varying sizes from your “palette” in the beginning
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.artonsedgwick.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/step-10.jpg\")
<\/p>\n3. Add curved tiles to some places if necessary (I did the tree trunk).\u00a0
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.artonsedgwick.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/step-11.jpg\")
<\/p>\n4. If you have long tiles or unusual shapes, don’t put them all in one place. Put them in different places to create cohesion.

<\/p>\n5. Finish by filling in all major cracks with tiles. It’s kind of like a puzzle that you create.

<\/p>\nOutline with Sharpie or a Dark Colored Marker

<\/h3>\nStart Painting<\/h3>\n
1. Cover your entire paper with water
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.artonsedgwick.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/step-15-add-water.jpg\")
<\/p>\n2. Mix your paint with water until it’s the consistency of milk<\/strong>, then start dabbing it onto your paper
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.artonsedgwick.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/step-16-pat-your-colors.jpg\")
<\/p>\n3. Think about where you want warm and cool colors. Because I made a tree, I wanted cool colors in the leaves, and warm colors in the trunk.
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.artonsedgwick.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/step-17-warm-for-the-trunk.jpg\")
<\/p>\n4. Put like tiles together, at different parts of the painting. See how I have two greens together in 3 different parts of the painting, and 4-5 blues together in different parts of the painting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nFinal details (important to make it pop)<\/h3>\n
1. Use sharpie or a dark colored alcohol based marker to fill in the spaces in between your tiles.

<\/p>\n2. Use a white Gel Pen to outline all the tiles.

<\/p>\n3. Add details on your tiles. I wanted mine to look like salvaged tiles of different types, so I added flower designs and stripes to some of my tiles.\u00a0
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.artonsedgwick.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/step-21-add-details.jpg\")
<\/p>\n4. Make sure every crack in your painting is filled in with black marker.
