Instructions for continuing the work once the initial "dumping" has been done: Use your favorite colors that remind you of home
to cover the page with watercolors. Chose 3-4 words that best describe your hopes
and dreams and future and write these very bold across the middle of the page. Use the art supplies to tell the story of who
you are. Choices include: a big choice of stencils in many different shapes and
sizes, foam stamps in shapes and letters, rubbing plate to add texture, punch
tools to cut out shapes from pretty paper to then glue on your page, and
letters as stickers you can use to spell your name or where you are from. Put
your name and today’s date on the front or on the back. |
