Happy Holidays from Art with Lotta!

Me and the kids created our selves as elves! This was such a fun project!

This is one of the fun projects we do at Christmas time. Projects like these are always so great because kids become inspired to re-create themselves as an elf.

Group collaboration is always a time for the kids to engage in ideas and get themselves and each other inspired!

It is sometimes an endless discussion as each artist always has ideas! Group discussion inspires everyone, the discussion will start with an idea, thought or theme and the question what do you think/see? And perhaps a descriptive idea is all it takes to get the conversation started. Then the endless ideas go round table and we even write down our ideas sometimes, starting with thumbnail sketches and onto our larger images.  

This elf is actually a self portrait - what do you think?!

Look for your child's inner ‘self as an elf’ artwork as they bring them home.

Happy Holidays!
