Do
you like to draw? We are starting a yearlong art journaling project at MHC.
Each Monday, we will share five ideas/thought starters to do with your children
at home. Art journaling is a great way for kids to express themselves, share
what is on their mind and learn new art skills and techniques in a collective
place.
The
MHC art journaling is a time that we hope your family will enjoy drawing, sharing
and continuing to make memories together.
Artwork
can be collected in various forms, a few ideas include:
- A bound journal
- Handmade journals
- Blank spiral notebook
- 8 ½ X 11 sheets of paper and placed in a 3 ring binder
- Large index cards an hole punched and placed on a ring
If
you have other collective ideas of how to place your drawing, please comment
below so that we can all learn and share.
To
kick off our first week…here is our first weeks list.
- Sunshine
- Birds
- Draw something that you
are thankful for.
- Meet the _____ (place you last name)
- Leaves
Attempt
to expand your children’s art mediums from, say, sketching with pencils to
water colors, acrylics, or chalk. One
idea might be to create an impression of the same idea, say sunshine, and use a
different medium for it every day, and then compare it in the journal.
