American artist, liked to use familiar objects in his work, like hearts! I thought this would be a great artist to talk about around Valentines Day!
Materials needed:
-Black construction paper
-Pink and White crayons
-Watercolor paper
-Watercolor paint in red, orange, purple
-Glue
-Scissors
Directions:
1. First have the kids fill up their entire sheet of black paper with rows of little x's and o's
2. Next have them fold a piece of watercolor paper and draw half of a heart, then cut it out. I did a demo then step by step we drew the heart then cut. You could also opt to use a template.
3. Using watercolors, paint the entire heart
4. Glue heart to black paper
What a sweet piece of artwork! Just in time for Valentines Day! Would make a great gift!
