Clothesline Art Show
by Molly...Also pretty neat...<br /><br />Clothesline Art Show<br />by Molly Hewitt<br /><br /><br />Age: All ages<br />Time: 1 hour in advance; 30 minutes day of show<br />Type of Activity: Art<br /><br />Materials needed: <br /><br />Paper, crayons, colored pencils, stickers, etc. <br />A clothesline or rope <br />Clothespins <br />Kid-made art: paintings, drawings, photos, collages, any lightweight works of art <br />Snacks <br />Want to air out your kids' creativity? What better way than to host a neighborhood art show? This is a good activity for an afternoon. You want to have enough time for the art to be seen and enjoyed.<br />The Invitations<br /><br />Pick a day and time for the show at least a week ahead, so everyone has time to make some art. The invitation should include the names of the hosts, the address, the date, the time, and what it's all about. You can use the same invitation for artists and parents. Just explain that artists are to show up a half hour early to hang their art. Since you are inviting people to an art show, get creative right from the start. Glue ransom note style cut-out letters on a paper plate, finger paint on a grocery bag, or circle letters on a page of the newspaper.<br /><br />When the invitations are ready, deliver them. Then get started on your art! If you need some ideas, check out Take Your Camera for a Walk.<br /><br />The Show<br /><br />This is the easy part. Just hang the clothesline between two trees or porch posts (have a backup place indoors in case of rain). Get the snacks ready. Hang your art work with the clothespins. As the other artists show up, have them hang theirs. When the guests arrive, serve the snacks, and bask in the talent of the neighborhood artists!<br /><br />Optional Art Sale<br /><br />Decide ahead of time whether the art is for sale and if so, what price you will charge per piece and where the money will go. Should it be divided among the artists? Should it go to a local charity? Or how about a neighborhood collection of art supplies, now that every house has an artist?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07901346281712927427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383878756738166294.post-54836042469984905492009-07-09T16:10:54.144-04:002009-07-09T16:10:54.144-04:00Here's something that might be fun at the farm...Here's something that might be fun at the farm<br /><br />Bike Photo Safari<br />Materials <br /><br />Bikes <br />Disposable cameras <br />Directions <br />This party is a picture hunt on bicycles. <br /><br />Each team of two or three kids gets a safari clues list. <br />The team must use the clue list and photograph the location they believe is correct within a determine time limit. <br />When everyone returns, someone takes the photos to a one-hour photo shop (you may be able to prearrange this so you can get them in less than an hour). <br />The party continues with lunch or dinner. <br />When the photos are returned, display them on the wall. <br />Photographs of correct locations will be judged for artistic quality as well as accuracy. <br />Award prizes in many different categories: most artistic, picture furthest off the clue list, most locations correct, etc.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07901346281712927427noreply@blogger.com
