Objectives:
Students will create a 3-d picture frame for their artwork.
What You Need:
9" x 12" white paper
popcicle sticks
glue
crayons
scissors
What You Do:
I have my Talented Art students teach a lesson each March for Youth Art Month. This year my 4th grade student, Ryan Hecker, created a really neat plan. You make a picture frame on paper and then draw a picture inside of it. They really turned out very nicely!
Students need 8 popcicle sticks, 2 for each side, then they will glue them to their paper in a square shape to create the frame. Next, they will draw a picture of their choice in the frame.
They may also color on the popcicle sticks to color the frame.
When they have drawn their picture they will cut the excess away from around their picture frame and they have a complete picture in a frame!
It is so easy and the results are so neat! I hope you enjoy it!
