A Painted Branch // Collaborative Art with Kids
This week for fine art course I tried something new. Our neighbor cut down some branches and left them on our holding. They'd been there a while, actually. We kept thinking they would clean them up. Equally I was staring at them from the kitchen window Monday morning I idea that I should really make a phone phone call. But then, a lightbulb went off in my encephalon. I'm quite certain it wasn't an original idea (is there really such a thing anymore?) but possibly I could drag one of the branches inside and the kids could paint information technology for art class today? So I did information technology. Broke off a piece and put it on the art table. Voila! Easy peasy. I mixed some paints, put them around the branch and just hoped and prayed that the kids would think this was every bit bright as I did.

Supply List for Painting a Co-operative:
Tempera paints
Glass jars
Pigment brushes
Elmer's glue
Pom-poms
In that location are really no instructions, no rules. Other than, don't splatter paint on other people on purpose, share the paints, and be kind!
Later on the branch was flipped over and painted on all sides, I brought out the glue and pom-poms to create some more texture. The glue got very drippy, which the kids loved, just it was all good because the tables were covered and everything is washable!
It's hard to photo such a long, skinny piece of art! After letting it dry out overnight, I couldn't wait to lean it against a wall. My own kids and even my husband were all like, "mom, that is so cool!". I want to figure out how to hang it from the ceiling. How awesome would that be?
I love collaborative fine art with little kids. Information technology'southward such a good way to foster teamwork and social awareness. Sharing with your neighbor, listening to conversations, taking turns and complimenting some other'due south piece of work are very important skills for the niggling ones to learn. What better way to learn these of import character traits than through art?
Let me know if you try this one!
