If your house is anything like mine there are stacks of old kid’s artwork lying around. Frame it, photograph it, have it printed on coaster?? There is no end to ways to commemorate your kiddos creativity but I love using it to make new artwork! Use old art work or any colorful paper to create this paper Christmas tree craft perfect for holiday cards!
Go outside & have a treasure hunt for objects to create your own nature collages. This is an easy outdoor art activity for any age!
Watercolors paints supply the cool color scheme and old fashioned paper doilies provide a delicate touch to this winter scene painting and mixed media collage.
Printmaking is a favorite process of mine because there are just so many amazing variations. These block wood prints take a traditional printmaking idea and put a simple, kid friendly spin on it.
It can be easy to look right past everyday materials that have great potential as art materials. This rainbow color wheel collage activity uses recycled magazine pages as a color source. Unusual? Maybe, but also perfect! They’re readily available, free, and come in a thousand colors!
This mixed media winter collage provides experience with watercolor techniques, tearing, cutting, gluing, and printmaking. Layering all of these processes into one artwork creates a finished artwork that looks more sophisticated than any of the simple parts of which it’s made!
