Letting Your Kids Create A Diy Layered Abstract Art


Being parents you know it is quite a challenge making your kids choose physical activities over games and TV. Painting is an art not many kids will be good at but you can motivate and encourage their creative aptitudes by arranging fun artistic activities that encourages them to open their mind and create whatever they want to.


Kids are bound to return to PC games if they don't find anything entertaining enough to hold their attention. Abstract art painting only sounds too complicated for the kids, whereas on the contrary it is a very fun activity that will keep both their minds and hearts involved.


Choose a weekend that you are free on and give your kids a prior notice but keep the activity a secret, this will build their excitement.


When the weekend arrives, make the activity feel special by showing them a spot where their masterpieces will be hanged.


Sit with the kids and tell them to follow your instructions.


1. You will need a canvas, some transparent sheets of the size of canvas. Acrylic paints, brushes and sponges. You can use just about anything to create different textures in the abstract art. From bubble wraps to leaves use anything you want.


Let the kids choose an item of their choice; it will make their brain work to think of what they can use to create what is on their minds.


2. After everything is arranged, show the kids how the transparent sheets will act as layers on top of the canvas and they can paint on the transparent sheets to create a feel of the art being distant from the first layer. Place the sheet on top of one another and start by making a tree like figure then on the next create another tree but on the other side.


This will help them understand what the layers are doing.


3. Give your kids full rein to make whatever they feel like. It's quite fascinating to see the white canvas fill with shapes and colors from their tiny artistic minds. Tell the kids to first start painting the canvas but keep their abstract ideas a minimum on the actual canvas. They can use the extra items such as leaves to create different shapes.


4. After the first layer is complete, let it set and dry. Once it's completely dry place a transparent sheet over top, and attach it from the corners so it stays in place.


Now you can guide the kids to use brighter color to draw corners of the shapes that they painted on the canvas. Highlight the corners with different colors. Let this layer dry as well.


As transparent sheets are plastic the paint might take more time to dry. So during this break you a little more time to do something else.


Take a snack break while it dries. You can prepare a fruit bowls or refreshing drinks beforehand for the kids to snack on.


This activity is actually a good time for you to find some time in between to finish your chores around the house.


5. Attach another layer of transparent sheet on top of the two layers. Now you and the kids can make this layer the last layer or top it with another, which would be your choice.


The last layer is for painting the final abstract art. Give finishing touches, guide the kids to use a toothbrush to sprinkle paint on the top layer, it can act as stars.


6. Let the abstract art painting set and dry properly. Create a cardboard frame to place the painting in and help the kids attach strings to their paintings. Then you can hang them on the designated spots to encourage the kids to experiment and try new ideas with their newly found creative skill.


To motivate the kids further you can also arrange a pin board in their room where they can pin their art paintings and polish their creative skills. Buy abstract arts to hang around the house, it can be a floor length painting or a collection of small size art pieces arranged in a grid. This will not only inspire you but will also encourage your kids to find inspiration from the famous art paintings.


When you are trying to make the creativity of your kids stronger, you would have to let them have their fun that is when you will start seeing results. Watch how they produce amazing artworks one after the other.


If you are worried about them ruining their clothes then you can also set aside some old clothes for them to wear each time they are painting. Or instruct them to wear a coverall.
