Hey everyone! My name is Lauren and welcome to my blog, Art Inspirations for Kids! I teach an art class for kids ages 4-9 at my local library and over the past couple of months I have collected and created several art projects and ideas. So, I thought, why not share them so that kids all over can have fun and be creative with art?! I typically separate my class into themes such as exploring oceans and outer space, and to keep with the themed structure I will post round-ups of each class along with some individual projects. The projects I do with my class use all kinds of materials from paper plates and cups to tissue boxes to straws and due to the library's limited budget they are fairly cheap to produce. I try to find and create projects that allow the kids to be creative while not making a mess since the class is held in a new room that is carpeted. I enjoy seeing the kids come up with things I never could have thought of and seeing the joy on their faces when they show their family at the end-of-class art show.
I recently finished a week-long Olympic themed art class. Throughout the Olympics, I will be posting the projects we did, but to start things off here is a preview of what's to come in the next few weeks!
Personalized Gold Medal
Olympic Torch
Origami Olympic Rings
Weaved Olympic Sport Frame
3D Olympic Sports
Flags of the World
Stay tuned for these projects and other Olympic ideas!
I hope you enjoy the upcoming projects and that your kids will too! Feel free to comment if you have any questions or feedback! I would love to hear what you think!
~Lauren
