I started this activity thinking that I’d make a
picture (I chose a flower, but your child can do anything that she wants). And
then I stared exploring how it looked in a more abstract way. That’s when my
12-year-old son said (in that eye-rolling, super-disgruntled voice that only a
middle schooler has), “Mom, what’s that supposed to be? It’s like, just a bunch
of points.” I looked at the paper and realized that the glitter, caught in the
glue, did in fact make just a bunch of points. It was pointillism, made
uber-easy.
Before you begin, talk about pointillism with your
child. Even tiny tots can learn the new word. Take a look at a work of art in
the style in a book, online or visit your local museum (if they have pointillism
art on display). Introduce her to famous
pointillist painters such as Georges-Pierre Seurat and Paul Signac Instead of
immediately pointing out the points, ask your child to tell you what she sees.
Follow that up by asking how she thinks the artist made the painting.
What You’ll Need:
·
Clear drying school glue
·
Glitter- Choose at least three different
colors. But, you can use more.
·
A paintbrush
·
Thick paper such as card stock
·
Plastic container – I reused the plastic
tub that lunch meat comes in.
What You’ll Need To Do:
1. Pour
a golf ball-sized pool of glue into the plastic container.
2. Sprinkle
in the first color of glitter. Mix the glitter with the glue using a
paintbrush.
3. Add
more sparkles in different colors (one at a time).
4. Have
your child decide what she wants to make. She can create “something” like a
tree, or she can go with an abstract type of art.
5. Your
child’s ready to “paint” with the mix. She can swirl the brush through the
glitter-glue, and then paint on the sparkles.
