Rainy Day Art – Complete the Painting
Posted by Cindy on March 4, 2009
I have a collection of really great paintings and pictures that I’ve torn from magazines and books over the years. One of last week’s rainy and cold afternoons called for something to occupy the restless troops. They chose one of the paintings, cut it in half, pasted one half on a piece of cardstock and used watercolors to recreate the other half. They LOVED this! (And it was super-easy for me!)


















You might try using watercolor pencils to complete the second half and then actually take the pictures out into the rain for a different kind of “rainy day” picture.
Great artwork! Kudos to the kiddos!
Fantastic Idea. Our son loves to paint and draw. This will surely enhance his enthusiasm.
Thanks

What a fantastic idea. I love it. I can’t wait to try that with my kids. Hey, it is supposed to rain next week.
