"The Shape of Me and Other Stuff"

The Shape of Me and Other Stuff, was my next reference for my art lesson.

Materials You Will Need:
-Construction paper
-Paint
-Paintbrush sponges
-Shape cut outs
-Tape

I used the Ellison Machine to cut out different shapes for this activity. I let the children choose the shapes they wanted to make. As always, they picked the color of paper and color of paint, they wanted to use. Letting them choose the color of paper and paint is important to them. Just make sure you have plenty of each color in case they want the same color. The children picked out the paper, paint, and shapes they wanted; after that they used the sponges to sponge the paint onto the shape. When they lifted the shape cut out they had an outline of the original shape. Looking back on this i should have laminated the shapes, then I could have tape them with double sided tape underneath. Live and learn, I guess.








I took the picture of the book "The Shape of Me and Other Stuff" from Google Images. I used the Ellison Machine and pictures as my technologies for this post.
