Drawing and creating art is so much fun but what are some ways that kids can share their art?
1, Make a card. Fold a piece of paper in half and make a card with your drawing. Give it to a friend or a family member.
2. Save your art in a folder and then mount on colored paper or frame and take to a senior center or a hospital. It will brighten someone’s day.
3. Create your drawings and paintings on paper that is all the same size. Use two pieces of colored paper for the front and back and create a book by stapling together or punching holes in the top and lacing with ribbon or yarn.
4. Share with a pen pal. Drawing pictures and sharing them with a new friend in another country far away is a great way to have your art go around the world. These are some pictures that children in Africa drew in an art exchange my art class did with them.
5.. Share your art art work with others on my FaceBook page. It is fun to see everyone’ creations. For today’s drawing assignment, draw a picture of your favorite toy or stuffed animal. Make a picture with a smart phone or camera and post it in the comment section of the page.
The Free Kids Art And Reading Online Camp will continue through July 31. Five days a week there will be an activity and all those that participate can upload photos to my author illustrator page on FaceBook. Participation can be random or on a regular basis, but prizes will be awarded for the top five participants with the most photos of their weekly projects uploaded to my FaceBook page. The prizes will be $25.00 gift cards to Michael’s Arts and Craft Stores. Prizes will be announced on August 7 and mailed immediately. I also will offer other reviews of books and apps for children through the summer here on my blog. Be sure to bookmark this page for the links and sign up for my mailing list. If you have any questions please post them as a comment to this blog. Please share this blog and info and get ready to have some fun!
