We are on the cusp of Christmas, and some joy is in order. What could be more joyful than the art of children?
Young people view the world with fresh eyes. Their art is spontaneous, original and smile producing.
Andy Warhol was the inspiration for my holiday art project in schools and libraries this December. His commercial art done before he was a pop artist is delightful. I used a small book he created titled So Many Stars as the motivation for the children.
The children all loved his book and were eager to write and illustrate their own books using the “so many” theme. The following art is by kindergarten, first, second and third graders. May it put you in a holiday mood….whatever you celebrate!
I was unaware of Warhol’s book, so after reading your article looked it up. It is out of print on Amazon, but found a reference to this app. The $3 seems to be a reasonable price to see it and the proceeds go to the Warhol foundation. http://mamaglow.com/andy-warhol-bugaboo-book-so-many-stars-2/
Awww! What a nice slideshow! Happy holidays to all – and so many “all” . . .
So wonderful! You are such an inspiring and creatively original art teacher. Do you have adult classes??? Hohoho
