Glow Worm

Posted on March 9, 2020 | 8 Comments

Last Friday, I showed you the beginning of this journal page:

I added a drawing of a weird looking bug and then discovered the dictionary definition for a Glow Worm on my page.I decided to explore this idea further.

Next, I added some acrylic paint and colored part of my bug with Tombow markers:

I added some interesting facts about a Glow Worm to my page and finished coloring my “beetle” wearing a hat… why not! 😉

I enjoyed learning something new while playing in my art journal.

Cheers! 🙂

P.S. I have decided to blog 1-2 days a week. I will be posting on Mondays and possibly Wednesday. I will be posting more on Instagram where you can find me at art_jill_kuhn

  Thanks Jenna! 😊 I am finally able to sit on a tall stool at my art table so I could add the acrylic paint to my paper. That bright yellow does glow! ✨

Wow Jill, that’s a cool way to learn about insects! I can see this being an assignment for English learners (or anyone actually) as an art/science project. I would love to see these all over a classroom wall! 😍
