Penn Museum Coloring Pages
Penn Museum Coloring Pages
By: Lee Roueche
With
the increasing popularity of adult coloring books, I thought it would
be fun to create some original Penn Museum coloring pages with objects
from our collection. Through the magic of Photoshop, I was able to turn
high resolution images of objects and Mary Louise Baker watercolors into
B&W outlines. The intricate designs and repeating patterns of these
objects make them perfect candidates for this simple and mindful
pastime. So if you are good at coloring within the lines or are looking
to disconnect for awhile, try your hand at one of these coloring pages
and share your work of art with us (@pennmuseum) on Instagram!
