Art is one subject that I've never done well with the kids. It tends to get forgotten. Sometimes it's just a lack of time. Sometimes it's just a lack of planning. This year, I wanted to really get serious about some of the areas of school that I've felt has been lacking in prior years. I found Art Projects for Kids and fell in love with many most of the projects there. So, I created a plan incorporating many of her projects focusing on specific artists. I filled in the year with seasonal and holiday projects, and I suddenly found myself excited about the school year. We're in week 4 of school, and we've already completed four art projects.
Our most recent project was to create a self-portrait by taking elements used by Hundertwasser, and Austrian artist. I used the directions for this project from Art Projects for Kids.
