In introducing art, I think that starting with the body to create art is a good place to start. So here are some ideas of art projects via hands and body....
ART (finger prints, hand prints, foot prints)
1. Animals
a) Simple
ex: create a simple picnic scene--children put thumbprints all around to tell story of what ants ate
ex: create a family of animals putting all five fingerprints down at the same time
ex: hand turkey
b) Complex
ex: make a detailed ant--create three thumbprints together and draw six legs and antenae
ex: make a catepillar
2. Pictures/scenery
ex: flowers, trees, etc.
3. Coloring/Marking within Defined spaces/mazes
ex: fingerprints - dotting the way through a maze
4. Lines/borders/shapes/patterns
ex: using thumbprints to dot a border
Here is a great blog just about hand and footprint art ideas!
