This week's assignment: Circle drawing/collage

1. Cut out 12 circles that are the SAME size from magazines/scrap paper. Must be paper so you can color on them - can't use fabric for this one! 
2. Glue them to your page so that you make 4 rows of 3 circles each. 
3. Using Sharpies or some other permanent marker (washable markers won't work on magazine paper), draw two smaller circles within the large cut out circle.
4. Color in your circles, using different colors inside each. 

Below is my example. You may copy the format or make up your own. Be creative and have fun! I'm looking forward to seeing your abstract circle art!
