Initials Artwork

September 6, 2014 By 2 Comments

Initials Artwork: Clever Classroom blog
Are you looking for a fun but easy to set up art activity?
This initial artwork is a great back to school idea or in fact, any time of the year. 
It’s so fun and also easy to complete and there are a few variations with the mediums that you can use. 
Each child will need:
~ art paper, 
~ a black crayon (the thicker, the better), 
~ 6 x different colored paints and 
~ paintbrushes (for each color).

Procedure: 
1. Each child writes the initials of their name in large print touching the top and bottom (Pre-K and K students will need guidance) and reach as far across as they can.

5. Color in the shapes using different colored paint. Start with one color at a time and fill in the several shapes and repeat this process with all colors until all of the shapes are filled with paint.
