Blog Worthy Moments with Megan

Hi
Senior OSC families!
I’m
Megan, one of the assistant leaders here at West Richmond OSC and have had the
opportunity to help plan and execute art/activities on Tuesdays at
Senior OSC. This week we decided to try Popsicle Art as a fun
project. The kids first worked on creating their own canvas and moved onto finalizing their own master pieces.
This
Popsicle Art was a simple project that provided each kid with a handful of popsicles, a
hot glue gun and vibrant coloured paints that ranged from pastel blues to
luscious greens. First they had to hot glue roughly 10 popsicle sticks together
and then they could paint an image of their choice over the new canvas they’ve
just created. With a photo example as a guideline the
kids let their creativity and imagination flow as they painted and glued with
excitement and laughter creating works of art that Van Gough would be proud to
see.
This activity is interesting because of how it allows each
of the kids here at OSC to interpret the craft as they choose and let their
creativity be explored. Some chose to follow the specific structure shown in
the photo example of the popsicles aligned side by side. Others created a frame
like structure to paint over. Seeing each kid that created a popsicle
art, every one of the artworks different from another, really showcased
every child’s inner creativity and artistic ability in a fun way.
Here
below are images of some of the finished products.
This
was an extremely fun art project to be a part of and looking forward to the many
that will continue to follow!
Until
next time,
Megan
