Art Journal Signatures
|
Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Sep 18, 2008 |
The kids and I have been working on art journal signatures everyday after school (aside from yesterday because they played outside with their grandmother). We’re doing this for several reasons:
- Quality time with the kids is always good, and this ensures at least one hour of undivided attention daily.
- I’m trying to get back into the routine of daily art-making again, so why not involve the kids?
- We’re trying to help the kids continue with positive attitude development and expression of feelings, so the themes for each art journal signature enables them to do so.
It’s been very positive so far. I explained to them why they’re working on what looks like a card, how it will look when we’re finished, and how we can continue to use this handmade art journal once it is assembled.
I love seeing how excited they are to see what their art journals will about each day. Today, we’re using several different mediums to explore our favorite parts of today through drawings and simple text. I don’t know who is more excited for them to get home – them or me!
