Picking your first watercolor paint set is hard enough, here we will discuss best watercolor paint sets for beginners so your life is a little easier.
I did this project with my 8-13 year old kids around Halloween. We used thick and thin permanent black markers to draw and color the spooky houses. We were sure to make our houses look wonky with slanted sides and windows for that creepy, abandoned house feel. We went for variety in our windows, creating different sizes and styles, and added lots of little details on our roofs like spires, weather-vanes, cats, chimneys and spider webs. At the foreground we added graves, carved pumpkins, fences, etc. The sky, path and interior window lights were painted with liquid marker ink, which I saved from dried markers. Simply place your dried markers, uncapped and felt tip down, in a jar of water and let soak for a day - you will have beautiful marker ink that you can use for painting. The moon was simply drawn with round tracer and left unpainted, though you could paint it in with white acrylic paint. These turned out so beautifully spooky and with such great contrast. The marker ink has a way of cauliflowering when it dries on the paper, which creates interesting texture, and adds to the night-time, spooky feel.
Painting on tin foil using cotton buds (Q tips) is an easy process art idea for kids. Foil painting is great for working on fine motor skills as well as colour mixing for toddlers and preschoolers. This art technique was inspired by Van Gogh's painting the starry night.

HALLOWEEN ART LESSONS for 5th Grade and up I've put together 6 of my favorite Halloween Art Lessons for 5th Grade through 8th Grade
Halloween Painted Skeletons. This middle school art lesson is perfect for Halloween Art or Dio Los Muertos Art.
This week, 3rd grade started their Henri Rousseau & Cassie Stephens inspired tigers! Here's Mr. Rousseau's painting we're getting inspiration from! Tiger in a Tropical Storm Here's how we created ours! My first two 3rd grade classes painted a couple of sheets of orange painted paper, and then the rest of the classes were able to draw their tigers, and make some green painted paper for the rest of the project! We're going to be making a collage on blue or black paper, by creating these tigers on the orange paper, and leaves on the green paper. We'll also add a tail, so it looks like the tiger is peeking out of the leaves! Can't wait to see the finished results! Here they are painting paper! I love all the different types of texture they added! Mrs. Stephens has a great video on youtube, showing you exactly how to draw the tiger, and she talks about the elements of art used in this project! Here's the link Cassie Stephen's How to draw a tiger Mrs. Fambrough's class is doing a fabulous job!! Stay tuned for some awesome art!

*THIS LESSON IS INCLUDED IN THE KINDERART CLUB MEMBERSHIP* Joan Miro was a Spanish artist who made drawings, paintings, prints and sculptures. He had a very unique style and his work featured brilliant colors, simplified forms, symbols and dream-like images that remind a lot of people of children’s art. With this lesson, students will create a cat painting in the style of Miro. Designed for K-5 (ages 5-11), this art lesson uses basic art supplies and shows you how to teach the material step-by-step. ----------------------------------- About the Author: ----------------------------------- Andrea Mulder-Slater has been an art educator for 25 years and an art curriculum developer for 18 years. She is also a professional artist and a homeschooler. In addition to teaching art and art history classes and workshops at the elementary, secondary and post-secondary levels, Andrea has worked as an educational consultant on various art education projects. Together with her mom Jantje, she created KinderArt® in 1997. It’s a website offering FREE art lessons, which has been visited more than 100 million times in the last ten years alone. That’s a lot of children affected by art! Andrea also writes about parenting, creativity and homeschooling for CBC, YMC, WDish, Today’s Parent, Creatubbles, the Association of Curriculum Development and Little Passports. Andrea’s passion lies in helping teachers and parents bring out the creativity in their children and students, even if they don’t consider themselves artists. Her detailed child-tested lesson plans are easy to implement, and are guaranteed to promote creative exploration in small or large group settings. Most of all, the lessons are effective and they encourage individuality. ----------------------------------- About the KinderArt Method: ----------------------------------- The KinderArt Method focuses on individual creative exploration. With that in mind, our lesson plans are designed to be adaptable, meaning you can use them for a wide range of ages. In this way, you can cover the same skills and techniques with all of your students while giving them the freedom to learn at their own level. So, instead of prepping for a multitude of lessons for all of your classes, you only need to prep for one. The goal is to allow your students the ability to make choices as they follow the lesson, whether it be through decisions about what colors to use or what kinds of lines to draw. Examples are included where possible to show you that even with the same set of directions, children can and will create completely unique works of art (even when the lessons are step-by-step). Allow for some independence and you will be amazed at the results. Also, the material lists often give you the option of more than one art medium. This is so you can work with what you have, instead of feeling as though you need to run to the store or order in expensive materials. One final tip: If you are short on time, simply reduce the size of the project, or - swap out supplies (ie: use markers instead of paint). Where there is a will, there is a way. ----------------------------------- Have you Joined the Club? ----------------------------------- This lesson is included in The KinderArt Club. As a member of The KinderArt Club, you have instant access to lessons just like this one, and MORE. Join the club and become a member at TheKinderArtClub.com/vip
