Suggested Activities To Check Out Today:
Art Project: Jim Dine is a Pop Artist who has done some amazing work! Some of you from last year may remember the "heart project" we did. We would like to do this again. You have a choice to make a HEART or for those of you that celebrate Easter, you can make an EASTER EGG. We are hoping everyone will make one and submit their picture in IRIS so we can collage them all together and repost it for you to see!
Watch the 2 videos below to learn more about the Artist...
Get a piece of blank paper (you can even tear one out of your visual journal-you can try a colored piece of paper if you have one!).
Fold it into 4 squares...I used black marker so you can see what I did...
Cut out one square...
Decide: heart or egg? Draw/design/color/decorate! Be creative with whatever you have at home (glue, colored paper, recycled materials, pencils, felt markers, paint, etc.) Draw with pencil first...I found drawing an egg took me some time! Your heart or egg should take up most of the square.
Story to watch (it has more rhyming words!): There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Chick!
