Webelos – Artist Badge

Standard

Artist Badge Requirements (2003 edition of Webelos Handbook)

Do these:

  • Talk to an artist in your area or to your art teacher about the different occupations in the art field. Make a list of them.
  • Create a scrapbook (portfolio) of your Artist activity badge projects and show it to your den leader.

And do five of these:

  • Draw or paint an original picture out-of-doors, using the art materials you prefer. Frame the picture for your room or home.
  • List the primary and secondary colors. Explain what happens when you combine colors.
  • Using a computer, make six original designs using straight lines, curved lines, or both.
  • Draw a profile of a member of your family.
  • Use clay to sculpt a simple object.
  • Make a mobile, using your choice of materials.
  • Make an art construction, using your choice of materials.
