“Jasper Johns, a master American artist, was the first to use everyday objects as his subject matter. One of his most famous paintings was just a grid with many numbers..”
This is a nifty, artful idea I found on the Art Projects for Kids blog. Please click the link for full description!
Even though this project is geared more towards school-aged kids (the picture above was done by a 1st grader), I think it can be adapted for preschoolers as well! I’m going to try it with my 3-year-old and my 1st grader. For my youngest, I will draw everything for her and then let her have at it with the oil pastels — she can decorate her little heart out! My son, I’m sure, will manage well on his own, and his little sister can look to him for inspiration!
Beautifully creative, and brilliant for number recognition and counting too!
