Color Your Steps

One of our art teachers, Sharen Eninger, here at We Care Arts enthusiastically explains how she designs shoes as a DIY project.  She has truly enjoyed painting shoes for a long time.  Sharen expressed her passion when she says “It is fun to do wearable art.”

Steps to painting amazing looking shoes:     

• ·         Select plain white canvas shoes 
• ·         Draw your design (geometric/organic figures) in pencil 
• ·         Choose your colors
• ·         Paint bigger areas first
• ·         Or use thick sharpies for big areas
• ·         Use fine sharpies to make smaller designs

Sharen taught this activity to our artists on visiting artist day which was Monday, July 11.  This was a perfect opportunity for people to learn something new as well as experience doing wearable art!
