This wasn’t the first time that I’ve done one of these
art projects. Many years ago I was a new art teacher. I had a week-long summer
art camp for 4- and 5-year-olds at the local museum. An hour into my
two-and-a-half hour day, I had finished my lesson plan. Left with an hour and a
half, and 12 preschoolers who were starting to look like they were planning an
art camp revolt, I pulled out the scrap bin. It was in my line of sight, and I
started to see the kind of cool scraps that were left behind – after shapes,
forms, globs and blobs were cut from them. So, I figured why not play with
these cut-out papers.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
Paper – I used card stock and construction
paper, but either (or both) is fine.
·
Scissors
·
A marker
·
Clear-drying school glue
·
Optional: Tissue paper, glitter, sequins, crayons,
markers, tempera paints – you get it, right? Just about any other art materials
your kids love can work into this activity.
Here’s What to Do:
1. Fold
the paper in half. Have your child draw half of a Valentine’s Day heart on it.
2. Cut
the heart out.
3. Fold
the paper again, in a different direction. Repeat the drawing and cutting steps
to make more ‘holes’ in it (all the folding and scissor work is great for your child's fine motor development).
4. Open
the paper to reveal the missing heart shapes – that’s the negative space.
5. Glue
the cut-out paper onto a piece of whole paper. Your child can use a plain sheet
of paper or one that she has drawn or painted on already.
6. Optional:
Decorate the paper (the parts around the hearts). Try a tissue paper collage,
add glitter and sequins or paint it!

Although this art looks quite simple, I think I’ll have to practice making it a few times to get it perfect for Valentine’s Day. I hope I don’t get any essays before valentine’s day because I don’t have money to spend on Essay Help Canada. I can't write them myself either - my girlfriend would kill me if I write essays on Valentine's day.
