3 Craft Ideas for February

There's no reason these have to be tried in February. We are in February and these crafts are good enough to be tried immediately! So go ahead and have some fun.

Here they are in no particular order:

1. Agamograph

Yakov Agam has given his name to this type of artwork. He has painted large buildings, but the same artwork has been tried out by kids. His 3d style designs are very eye-catching and come under the umbrella of kinetic art. Here's one mom trying this art with her kids as a math art idea.

2. Mondrian Art

The colors red, blue and yellow dominate his art. The abstractness has inspired a programming language called Piet. Here's one brave mother who got her kids to paint a window directly in a Mondrian Art Project.

3. Tape Resist Art

Tape parts of the page and get the kids to go creative with paints on the page. Then peel off the tape and enjoy the artwork. If you wish this can be cut up to do more. Check out this blog for more ideas.

Kids enjoy art and if they are colorful, the kids are hooked!
