Another Rooster Art Project


Our final art project for Chinese New Year involved
stencils.
I cut a rooster shape from cardboard and decide to use both the 
positive and negative.
Outside and inside.
The outside took a bit of trial and error.
Some children painted the cardboard cut out
but their parent guided them to the edge and encouraged
them to paint around it.
They were surprised when they lifted the stencil.
Painting the inside of the stencil was easier.
After the first day I added q-tips to get in to the smaller areas.
They turned out very colourful.

Rooster Art

While searching for art activities for the Year of the Rooster 
I came across this idea for fork painting.
How do we use a fork to paint?
With the tips?  
On the side?  
On the back?
This art became a series of experiments.

These two girls approached their art side by side
but in different ways and ended looking very individual.
