Spring in the Art Room!

I love this project. It always perks up my spring when we do it. This year I didn’t have any old Nat. Geo. magazines to use for the vases but I did have wallpaper scraps. The magazines were always good because there always lots of pictures with color and pattern that made great vases. I let the kids pick a background paper from light blue, turquois blue, dark blue, violet, and black. They always turn out quite striking.
Peace-

  1. Are these just little squares of tissue paper glued in the center? So pretty!

    Is it based on a kind of flower you have blooming already? Do you bring the flowers in the room or are they just imagining? I always do lilac paintings when they bloom, but we're not ready for flowers yet. I like the way the flowers grow up the stems. Really nice.
