Sometimes when we think about making art, we think of using materials like paper, paints, felts, and crayons. But what about using materials found in nature? Let’s on an outdoor art adventure in this week’s read aloud, Anywhere Artist. After listening to me read the book, head outside and see what you can create using your imagination and the materials you find.
To help inspire you, here are some examples of the mandala art created by artist, James Brunt. He uses materials such as rocks, leaves, and sticks to create circular works of art.
Lately he has been using materials he finds around his house to create art when he has to stay at home, like us. He used his mom’s button collection for this work of art!
And here he used screws.
When Fall comes, how about some leaf animal art?
