I wanted to do something really special for my co-worker this Christmas. She is a pre-school teacher and I am her assistant. We worked on a really fun art project with the students. It had a fun Eric Carle theme. I scooped up all the scraps and saved them for this little work of art.
It is a mixed media of the kid's tempra painted scraps and acrylics. The texture every where in this art is so fun. I think the tree is a wonderful symbol of a child's growth in school and life in Christ. The colors on the tree are backwards on purpose, because it is by Christ blood alone that we can have life. What a HOPE!!!
I did this piece for a friend at church this Christmas. I just needed to paint and this is what I had to do...LOL. Anyway, it was fun canvas to paint. I used acrylics and some strange tools to create some fun texture. Tools like my pick that I use for my hair, my antacid pill bottle, and my sons legos. Oh... and by the way this little guy has a perfect name, Oscar.
