Symmetry Painting

July 28, 2013 by Kimberly 1 Comment

We recently explored symmetry through paint and cardstock. It was a fun evening project after supper, and required very little materials. All you need is paper (preferably cardstock), paint, and paintbrushes (optional – fingers work, too!). To make a symmetrical painting, you fold your cardstock in half, open it back up, and paint one side. […]

Diego Rivera Painting Lesson

July 26, 2013 by Kimberly 1 Comment

As a nod to our Around the World series: Mexico, we recently learned about Diego Rivera. He was a famous Mexican painter that lived from 1886-1957. Diego began painting when he was 3 after his twin brother passed away. His parents gave him the tools to create his art in the walls of their home, […]

{ Painting with Spaghetti }

January 13, 2013 by Kimberly Leave a Comment

This isn’t the first time Lore has painted with spaghetti, but it is the first time in a long time. I think the last time was when we lived at our old apartment! It was fun seeing her re-discover this one. She had a great time dipping the paint and dropping the spaghetti onto the […]

{ Lorelai Paints: Sunset on the Rouen }

July 21, 2012 by Kimberly Leave a Comment

When Lorelai approached me tonight and asked to paint, I decided to make art time a little more challenging for her. I have several art books lying around that we both like to flip through from time to time. One of the paintings that Lorelai always commented on is Sunset on the Rouen by William […]

Tips for Painting with Toddlers

July 8, 2012 by Kimberly Leave a Comment

Painting with young toddlers can seem like more effort than it’s worth, but introducting your child to paint CAN be made easy. Lorelai started painting at 18 months and she took right to it. Here’s a list I’ve compiled of good tried-and-true tips for painting with toddlers. Strip them down first. They’re going to get […]

Painting Vases

June 7, 2012 by Kimberly Leave a Comment

Lorelai has been painting vases lately! Unfortunately the vase she painted for my mom back in Texas broke on our trip over, so when we got here I went out and got some acrylic/enamel paint and Lore has been making presents for everyone. The first vase she painted was for Mommoo, her great-grandmother. Moo had […]

{ How Pinteresting: Project 1 }

December 8, 2011 by Kimberly 1 Comment

Here is the Pinterest project I ended up doing tonight. I love how it turned out! The colors are weird here (very yellow) because the only lighting was from a lamp. You get the idea, though. This is the original project. I didn’t want so many colors. Our living room has brown furniture with blue […]

{ Painting with Cotton }

August 29, 2011 by Kimberly Leave a Comment

Instead of doing a structured craft today, I got some cotton balls and q-tips and let Lorelai fling some paint. Okay, there was no flinging involved. I think she loved that she was able to paint using something other than a paint brush. She spent a lot more time doing little details (flower pedals, sun […]
