Play Equipment: canvas, paint, q-tips, plastic forks, paint brushes, cotton balls, popsicle sticks.
I love my kids artwork, but there is just so much of it. It all gives me a bit of anxiety. What do I keep and where do I put it? My eldest loves to display his artwork all over the house, using mostly computer paper and masking tape. So I thought perhaps we could display the artwork on something a bit more substantial. They were so excited to paint on canvas! I grabbed whatever I could find to apply the paint (q-tips, plastic forks, paint brushes, cotton balls, popsicle sticks), and experimented with different techniques and textures. We also talked about naming the works of art: the top one is "The Chicken Coop", and the next (influenced by the first artist) is "The Chicken Monster." I think we will classify these as part of the abstract movement.
I saw another great idea on Mom Spark. They took pictures of the artwork and then ordered an 11 x 14 collage poster on Snapfish. All less then $10! Brilliant.
Gorgeous!! And so fun :o) Kids are is my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteWe made fun canvas art project too, my daughter really like it. She's 2.5 so I just had her paint one all one color. Then we added her footprints and handprints to it. I added a picture of her and my Dad and little title with stickers and we had a great child made gift. Papa loved it and my daughter loves to visit it in his office.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using so many different things to paint with. Also,that is a perfect way to display you kid's artwork.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking such a fun idea, and have a great weekend.
