FRANKENTHALER: Dilly-Dali Art has a series called "Inspired" by a professional artist. I had to give the abstract painting inspired by Helen Frankenthaler a try. Materials -large piece of cardboard -watered down tempera paint put in containers -various sponges, brushes, and kitchen utensils Directions -Place cardboard in a space where it is okay to create a mess. We did this in our backyard. -Encourage your child to pour the paint onto the cardboard. -Suggest to your child to use the tools provided to move the paint around on the paper. -Continue to support your child's interest in pouring and manipulating the paint. Miss E was more interested in pouring than the tools. It isn't every day she gets a chance to spill paint! I encouraged her to move around the paper to pour the paint. It was a challenge for her to understand that she could move around the painting since she has become accustomed to producing art from one side. I liked that this form of painting encouraged a different practice and allowed her to see that painting could be done differently. -Dialogue about how the painting is changing. Dilly-Dali Art. She has a series called "Inspired" by a professional artist. I had to give the abstract painting inspired by Helen Frankenthaler a try. Dilly-Dali has an informative link to a You Tube video that clearly shows the process of Frankenthaler creating art. We varied our technique a bit to accommodate for the materials we already had in our home.

James Rizza. Bold lines/Bright colors. Very busy subjets. Often uses words over his art. Materials Acrylic Paint Paper or Canvas (we used 100lb Bristol paper) Black Marker How To To try and create a piece of work in the style of James Rizzi we viewed quite a few pictures of his work online. I discussed with the girls how he painted the things he saw around him. His home, New York City, the people he saw, and the things that made him happy. So I asked C what she would like to paint, she chose a butterfly. I'm not 100% sure on what Rizzi's process was, so I did what would be easiest for the girls We drew our images on paper with pencil first then painted in the images with our bright colors. When our paintings were dry we traced around them with black permanent marker. C's finished butterfly is in the middle.

MaryAnn F Kohl PandG Mama has some great masters lessons and activities that are super good!!
Vincent Van Gogh Sunflowers Art Lesson. What you need: Various shades of tissue paper White glue Container Water 5x7" cardboard Drawing pencil Wax paper Preparation: Mix two parts glue to one part water in an individual container. Tear (or cut) small 2x2" squares of tissue paper in various colors and shades. Draw on 5x7" cardboard. Create texture and color. Rest the cardboard on top of a sheet of wax paper. To "paint" with tissue paper: lightly dip the tissue paper square into the glue/water mixture and mold and shape onto the cardboard where the drawing is made. Add as much tissue paper that is needed to fill in the entire area- being careful not to allow colors to bleed into one another. Want to add more texture? Partially dip the top layer of tissue paper into the glue/water mix and adhere to the top of the tissue paper painting. Allow 48 hours (or more) to dry thoroughly before hanging.

Trace the hand in pencil. With a marker, draw a straight line until you get to the hand. Then make a curve from one line to the next, then continue the straight line.

Use glue, salt, and watercolor. The glue makes the colors rise from the paper and the salt creates a 'starburst' look.
