Meaningful art experiences don’t have to cost a fortune. In fact, it’s often the simplest of materials and prompts that can provoke the most creativity. When children are encouraged to be resourceful, they are challenged to come up with creative solutions to problems. Furthering this belief, we will work with texture scraps on Day 3 of the challenge in the Texture Collage activity.
In short, my intention is to help you keep the creativity high and the cost low!
