You'll love this Ocean Art Preschool Activity! It's a great way to talk about the ocean and be creative at the same time.

I made these collograph prints with very young children. The one pictured is my example. They started with a piece of craft foam and scissors. I explained that they should try cutting out different shapes: some small, some slightly bigger, and to try and use some straight cuts and some curved or wiggley cuts. They didn't need to worry about it looking like an object that could be recognized. One little girl did opt to cut out a flower and a little boy did a house. We used white glue to attach the craft foam to a piece of corrugated cardboard and we let out printing plates dry until the next class. For printing we just used tempera paint and little foam rollers that can usually be purchased in the home improvement section of the Dollar Store. I encouraged them to print many images on one sheet of paper. I'm starting a newsletter with DIY templates, news from my Etsy shop, and step-by-step photos of some of the techniques for my artwork and illustrations. The newsletter in early June 2018 will include a template for a simple pop-up book to make with children. Sign-ups on the right-hand side of the blog.

DOT PAINTING OUTLINES for NAIDOC This resource simply provides links to dot painting resources and provides animal outlines to help children create their own dot painting. NOTE: It is always best to invite a member of the local Aboriginal community to assist with this art but we understand that is not always possible. Not all Aboriginal communities do dot painting so please talk with the community Elders. These outlines are also great for pattern art.

" There is space for me" The Sandhill Crane is always a special sight to see. Surrounded by native Illinois wetland plants such as cord grass, iris, great blue lobelia, and bottle gentian, this big bird is right at home. Less than 1% of native prairie is left in Illinois though. This ecosystem and community is in danger. This illustration is part of a series I am working on to promote prairie awareness and give voice to the plants and animals that make up this world that many of us are not acquainted with anymore. This illustration is a bit different from my normal plant art, but I'm enjoying expanding my artistic horizons. This listing is for an 8x10 or 11x14 inch print of my original illustrations, which are created from hand drawn plants/animals with added digital color and texture. Prints are on Ultra Premium Presentation Matte Paper. No frame is included, but all prints are packaged with a sturdy cardboard backing to ensure prints do not bend and are protected during shipment.

"Against Forgetting" is a fine art print of an original piece by Nina Montenegro. A wax rubbing of a tree stump is adjacent to an inked fingerprint. This piece has been featured in Orion Magazine, Camas Magazine, and High Country News. Artist Statement: I encountered an enormous stump on Orcas Island (likely a Doug Fir) and tenderly took a rubbing with wax crayon. I had always marveled at the similarity between the rings of a tree and the rings of our human fingerprints, but I was shocked to see the rings actually align when I took an inked fingerprint and enlarged it to the scale of the tree rings. What resulted was a harmonious depiction of humanity's kinship (and belonging) with nature. Dimensions are 10" x 10", 14" x 14", or 20" x 20". Open edition, titled and signed. Printed digitally on archival paper with matte finish. Background is printed color, not the paper color. Unframed print. --------------------------------------- 10"x10" and 14”x 14" will ship in a protective, sturdy flat. 20" x 20" will be shipped in a big, sturdy tube. Visit www.ninamontenegro.com for more details on the series this piece belongs to. All designs © Nina & Sonya Montenegro Reproduction rights do not transfer with sale of items.
