Community Collaboration: Transforming Spaces Through Mural Magic - A Creative Journey

Craft Idea for a Group:  Make a Mural

Most technological ideas are aimed at individuals, whether they are children or adults. Sometimes you want a technology idea that works for a group of kids. Creating a common image is a group idea. Working together, you can create something that beautifies the shared space. Individual works of art can also be displayed, but one piece is often more effective than a group of it. Plus, sometimes kids' technology, like it or not, gets messy when they get home before mom throws it away. The concept of group photo technology will be visible for several weeks and will not force anyone to stay at home.

The mirror material for the children's group is freezer paper. The freezer paper is about 18 inches wide and very sturdy. One side is plastic. This is the side that should be placed on the food. You'll have better luck drawing and posting on the other side. Class or group pictures can take many forms. You can mix up finger paint and let the kids make a sketch (or even a trace) on the paper. You can let the

look through old, discarded magazines and coloring books for your favorite pictures and let it cut and paste the pictures. Text, design, signature, slogan or image can be marked with a pencil

To create a mirror, choose a topic that is related to the group in some way. For example, if the group is blind and learning to camp, the sketch might include pictures of items related to camping. If you have already learned about dinosaurs, you can use it as a topic. For a really messy project that makes a beautiful fall mirror, mix your finger paint with fall colors. Children can make a tree by first putting brown paint on their hands. Then they put their hands on the

paper to make the trunk of the tree. Their fingers should spread so that there are five short branches at the top of their hands. To make the leaves, children trace their fingers around the top of the tree with paint of a different fall color. If you add a few drops of washing up liquid to the finger paint when mixing, it is easier to clean from children's hands. Make sure they have old clothes or cigarettes for this craft idea.

Young preschoolers love to make animal-themed drawings. You will probably need to find and cut out pictures of animals from magazines to get started, then let the children choose the ones they would like to post. Glue sticks are safe for small children. They post some pictures. Count and do not fight. This is the key to this crafting concept. Kids can stick the animals on the bottle with cookie cutters dipped in finger paint. You may need to tape the paper to the table to keep it from sliding while the children work.

A specific form of this craft idea, often made by adults, is a mirror around the subject. Each member of the group makes a square that represents part of what the group represents. Small squares can be colored with felt-tip pens or from plaster or fabric. Again, the idea of ​​crafting is to create group solidarity, not to show off our art to others. Once the roof surface is complete, it can be closed or closed as a group project. It can be hung in a special

central location or given to an appreciated leader or member
