COVID'19 / ART Therapy / NEGATIVE SPACE FALL HAND PRINT ART
Intro @ https://www.amritaparyani.art/blog/covid19-art-therapy
NEGATIVE SPACE FALL HAND PRINT ART
This was an incredibly simple art project for the preschool kids, but they had a blast with it! Most of the children LOVED using the sponge paint brushes — they dabbed with them, splattered paint with them, and moved them all over the paper. One of my students used the brushes to paint almost the entire center time!
Materials
Construction paper (brown and white)
Poster putty
Sponge Paint Wands (I used yellow, red, and orange)
Sponge Paint Wands
Directions
1. Trace child’s hand and forearm on brown construction paper, then cut it out.
2. Use poster putty to secure the “tree” to white construction paper.
3. Once the hand print is in place, allow the child to sponge paint all around it with fall colors. (Be sure to encourage the child to leave little or no white around the edges of the “tree”.
4. Gently remove the brown hand print, and be sure to remove any vestiges of poster putty.
5. Allow to dry, then display!
