Open Ended Art – Mixed Mediums

The theme for Open Ended Art this week is Mixed Mediums… check out the other artwork here!

This turned out to be a really easy art project for us… because I didn’t have to do anything!  One day recently when M was home alone with Daddy, he made this:

Look very closely and you can see one yellow line on the left.  It qualifies! :) 

Apparently M did this completely on his own.  I had some construction paper out and he picked a green piece and put it on his easel.  Then he got a cup of water from the bathroom sink (where was his dad? That’s what I want to know!), and dipped chalk in it then drew on the paper.  As a finishing touch, he added stickers.

So, colored paper, water, chalk, stickers… you can’t get much more mixed than that! :)  Here’s a close up:

  2. I like it too when I don't have to be right there the whole time either cleaning things up, getting things out or supervising. Good for you this week:-)!

  3. What I LOVE about open ended art is that I am hardly involved. Usually I'll get some cleaning done while they are creating.

  4. This is so-so neat! Not only he did it all by himself, but he executed planning and used unusual (at least in our house) painting methods. Way to go, Matthew!
