I just finished a parent and child class at the art gallery. I prepared several projects based on Children's books. The first project I would like to share is a project based on Eric Carle’s “The Grouchy Lady Bug”
We used ceramic clay to make pinch pots and flipped them
over then added a small mound of clay for the heads. We poked two holes in the
hole with a pencil in order to hot glue wire antennae into them later. We used
white oil pastels to draw leaves onto white paper and then brushed green water
color onto them.
When the bugs were finished being fired we painted them with
acrylic paints in two steps body and head then dots when the under coat of red
dried. We cut the leaves and trimmed them up and glued them onto foam core
board with tacky glue. After hot gluing the antennae on I used a caulking adhesive glue to attach the
ceramic bugs to the foam core board.
