It is week 3 of our series, After School Art with Hand Made Kids Art. After School Art is a video series designed to ask young artists critical thinking questions in order to help develop their creative thinking skills. Each week I will post a new video prompt to help spark creative thinking . Click here to view Week 1 and more about why I think art at home is important. I hope you have enjoyed the previous weeks creative thinking prompts and are ready for a new one!
Week 3 Video
Parent Suggestions:
I suggest parents/caregivers watch the video first and then watch with your artist. I encourage you to watch the video first so you are familiar with the prompt and you can ask open ended questions as your artist is drawing to help spark creative ideas.
Go ahead and grab a paper and draw along next to them (although don’t draw on their paper)! Model how you add details to help tell the story of your drawing. Don’t worry about your drawing skills…I promise your child will not care. Encourage them to fill the page and add color if they wish. To finish they can sign their name and think of a title that help describes their artwork.
Share!
I would love for you to share your final drawings with our Hand Made Kids Art community. You can join our Google + commmunity, post to our Facebook page or upload to Instagram (#handmadekidsart). No pictures of your children needed just the artwork!
