I did this project last month with my 5 and 6 year olds but as these works are turning out so amazing I am posting here the works of my 7 and 8 year olds. Somehow I was never a Depeche mode fan but I guess there comes a time for I just can’t get enough playing in your head!

I am most proud of my 5 and 6 year old artists!
We had a tiny chat about self portraits in the history, we had a good laugh about a few of them and we were shocked about some others. Some pretty, some surprising. Quite very interesting! And this here is how my children see themselves. Most adorable pieces of art ever! And they aren’t small!!

We had an amazing fun building a city in a collaborative art project. Whole thing turned into a great game. We had a factory and a store of different shapes and colours. We had a production, a selling department, costumers and an assembling department. Very merry!

This is again an inspiration from many time mentioned artbar. To make these lovely marionettes there are many steps to achive but none is very complicated. If you will be making them with more children at once, bare in mind there are many knots to do. My children couldn’t do them especially not the double ones on the ends of the strings, to prevent the beads falling off, so I probably did one million.
The marionettes are real fun to play with, they have such sweet movement and children really enjoyed making a story while playing with their horses. They were very precious to them and were happy to take them home.

It’s time for carnival! And we love animals! And we love to look crazy! So do not bother guessing…

My fine motor skills class worked on animal cardboard puppets. They were building their finger muscles whille fighting through thick cardboard and their brain muscle when building this thing together. Look at these beauties please!

We made a beautiful project on harvest. I came across an art project on Marina Strocchi by Art Camp that I loved and Maria’s simple childlike beautiful forms do trigger a desire to offer kids to discover her work. She is painting landscapes of her homeland, Australia. She has this natural raw touch of warm colours and backgrounds. We used inks and raw paper. An easy and beautiful project for all ages.

We were learning how to mix colours. Children enjoyed this very much. I only gave them blue, red, yellow, white and black and they made such pretty shades of all possible colours. They were first painting on cardboard and then on canvas. We tryed to frame the paintings with embroidery hoops but I think they looked prettier on it’s own. But hopefully they will all get some nice framing because they really deserve it.

We spoke about arhitecture and the lovely Hundertwasser. And we said things like: “Ooooooh, if only more houses were of him. Slides everywhere! Trees on the roofs! And those windows! I want round windows from ever! I want gas stations with trees and the flowers! I want a round room on the top of the tower. I’d like to slide on my bum from kitchen into living room! Ooooo!” After the loud excitment we just went into silence for a while. Imagining…
And then we went to work.
The children made these beautiful buildings out of recycling materials. I think Hundertwasser would be proud!
When asking children on our second workshop if someone remembers who we talked about they shouted: “TAUSENDWAAAAAASSER!!!”
