going around in circles can be quite fun...
start in the center and...
add your favorite colors...
and work towards the outside
adding magazine and construction paper cut outs...
adding magazine and construction paper cut outs...
and blobs of paint,
and pen doodles,
and stamps of more paint
and then...
and pass one piece of yours to the person on the left
and so on and so on until....
you have a gorgeous new piece of art
with a touch of your creation
and 3/4s of your friends.
note: we then doodled with permanent marker
on used laminate and attached brads to adhere this
to the top of our art
for a wonderful multi-layered look.
then we moved on to the another piece...
full of happy spring-time colors in the background...
and construction paper flowers...jumping off the pages...
ready to enjoy springtime
(if it would ever arrive - first time ever we have not hit 60 degrees in April
and tonight the low will be 34 - a new record,
but who's counting?)
not these guys...aren't they adorable?

ReplyDeleteThanks for this lovely idea. "going round in circles". I used it today with a class of 6 year olds. An excellent days work. I have mentioned your blog on my blog as a thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat grade was this? Great results, Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI think it was 2-4th graders if I remember correctly. But it works for any grade really. Good with adults too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! I will use this idea with young students in art class as well as in a collaborative project with the entire school. Parent/artist who is in charge of the project LOVES it as well and will incorporate some of your ideas with hers.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon your blog on Pinterest and boy am I glad I did. These paintings are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janis. I usually just teach iPad art now so I don't add too many more mixed media projects. But there are still a lot of oldies that are great projects.
ReplyDeleteFound you on Pinterest!! Love the work you inspire!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have put the creativity and collaboration back into art! I love your ideas, they motivate even the reluctant young artist! Thank you so much. I agree your ideas Inspire Us!
