Here is an introduction to some of my favorite pieces
These are Anjali's works - a paint by number kit and a scratch pad, both from art friend
Collages are Sophia's foarte and she loves to glue stuff around. The first is a collage made of hama beads and glitter glue. The second is a random collage made out of several kitchen grains and stuff I fouond around the house in a desperate moment to keep her entertained while I was cooking dinner. The result - a mess and a masterpiece. The third was a collage that she put together out of old Christmas wrapping paper.
Sophia generally likes doing non 2 dimensional art. The top circle was part of a set of slotted discs that I made for the girls. Sophia look the scrap fabric and glued it on one of the discs. The butterfly is donw with watercolors.
The Thing sticking at an odd 3D angle, looking very patriotic is a paper fan made and colored by Anjali using Kitchen glue.
Anjali's art is usually more 2 dimensional, and often very self generated. Here are some samples.
The picture at the bottom is apparently a self portrait by Patti.
Sometimes we experiment with new art materials and media, often inspired from the internet.
Melted crayon art
We had a fun evening when we put old crayons against a candle flame until they melted and used them for coloring.
Contact paper collage with construction paper strips and pressed flowers
Marble rolling painting.
A first attempt at Batik
Anjali and Sophia's first output of the embroidery hoop
Some alien Dora and boots (sand art kit from shop n save)
This is another self generated art activity where the girls last night grabbed a face towel (new) and drew on them with markers and glitter glue.
It's so wonderful that you have a special space to display your children's work. How wonderful you give them so many opportunities to express their artistic creativity.
ReplyDeletePlanning to do an art pin up area for Vir also..not sure what the purpose is but still will be nice for him to look at his handiwork i suppose!
ReplyDeleteYou should. We began our's when Anjali was about Vir's age.
