I’ve posted three videos today: How to draw a forget-me-not flower (introduced species), a daisy flower (introduced species) and a dandelion flower (introduced species).  You can follow along with one video or you can try them all!  At the end of the post, I share how we can help spread kindness to others with our flower doodle art.

1.  The Forget-me-not (le myosotis)

In the first video, I show you how to draw a forget-me-not wildflower in doodle form.  Bear with me — it’s the first how-to video I have ever made in my entire life and I made mistakes.  However, mistakes are good; they are  First Attempts In Learning (FAIL) and are natural when you try something new.

2. The Daisy (la marguerite)

In the second video, I show you how to draw a common daisy wildflower in doodle form.  I found that my second video went a bit smoother for me and was easier to film than my first one.  Yay to progress!

3. The Dandelion (le pissenlit)

In the third video, I will show you how to draw a dandelion wildflower (or weed, as some adults call it) in doodle form.  I found that my third video was the easiest to make.  However, I made a French mistake in the video and called a dandelion  “le dent de lion” when it is actually called “le pissenlit”.

Now that we have drawn all these doodles, what can we do with them?

Make Somebody’s Day Brighter – with Art!

In the story we read on Monday, Sidewalk Flowers, Tally gives little gifts of wildflowers to the people around her.  Right now we can’t give as easily with proper social distancing, but we can still spread joy and happiness.

I explain how in the video link here: https://vimeo.com/408111058

Using my flower doodles, I made a thank you sign for my mail delivery person:

I made another sign for the people who delivers my groceries:

Who’s day can you make a little brighter with your flower doodles? I’d love to hear who you shared your art with.  I’d also love to see your art!  If you would like to share your pictures, please see the “Submitting Student Work Tab” on the blog main page.   Email your submissions to me at dzibin@sd79.bc.ca

I hope you enjoyed drawing with me!  I will see you here tomorrow for sidewalk drawing.

Yours in kindness,

🙂 Mme Zibin
