1. 2 of the best ways to do
Art with kids
From:
www.eduart4kids.com
2. A fairly standard way to do art with kids is to do what
t I call copycat arts and crafts like the image
Below from a workshop I did with teachers
3. The best way to make something like trees is to
Prepare different size trees for the children to choose from
4. You would then prepare all kinds of materials for them
To use in creating their trees on top of the trunks
5. Below are some of the results from a workshop I did
For teachers using this method
6. If you want to do something particular like a fall scene,
then its
Also good to give pictures for inspiration and the right
colors
To depict that scene you want to show
7. Is it not more to creative not to make a flower like this one
Which is very typical
8. And instead to do flowers like these that encourage
Creativity
And thinking skills
9. If you really want to do crafts with
kids as opposed
To doing more creative, free style
art
Then there is a way to do so
10. There are 5 categories of what I call Educational Crafts
11. The first category is cafeteria style
This is when the children get to choose cafeteria style
The different materials they are going to use to
Decorate their projects. Like the tree pictures before
12. The second category is when you use a template and have
The children do any kind of painting or process only art on
This template
14. The fourth is to take an object and transform it into a work
of art
Using any number of techniques, like mosaics or decoupage
15. The fifth is the final category and you can use any
Number of process only art activities to create art and
then
To make them into either things like card, wrapping
paper
or framed pieces of artwork.
16. I hope this short presentation has
inspired you
To go out and do some great art with your
children
Or students
