Encouraging a Love of Art Through Reading: New!! B&N Kids' Expert Circle

Encouraging a Love of Art Through Reading

Expertcircle_mainhdr_2 Does hearing the names of famous picture book illustrators make you hop up and run to the bookshelf to find a treasured storybook to read? People like Leo Lionni (Swimmy), Eric Carle (Very Hungry Caterpillar), Ian Falconer (Olivia), Lois Ehlert (Chicka Chicka Boom Boom), Clement Hurd (Goodnight Moon), Ezra Jack Keats (The Snowy Day), Maurice Sendak (Where the Wild Things Are), to name just a few. What these creative people have given to children through their classic storybooks is more than stories to love — it's an everlasting open door to creativity and imagination. What a gift!

Easy Art is the BEST ~ Let's Make Blottos! Blottos from Scribble Art By placing paint between sheets of paper and then folding them together, colors mix and form strange and interesting shapes. Shapes often resemble butterflies because of the symmetry, but a butterfly shape need not be the goal. Enjoy the surprise of color and design. Materials: tempera paints in cups spoon or paintbrush for each cup large sheet of butcher paper, or any paper Process: 1. Fold the paper in half. Open it. 2. Drop a blob of paint (or several blobs of one or many colors) on the fold. 3. Press the paper together and pat. 4. Open once again to see the blotto made from the paint pressed inside. Variation Cut out the dry blotto shape and glue it to a striking background such as purple, black, or yellow. copyright © 2010 MaryAnn Kohl This art activity is copyright protected.
