What a great piece of artwork!! Pravo!!! It gave me great ideas to do something similar to that!! I love the way that all of the colors mix together so well!!! Great, great piece of artwork!!
Looks great. Would love the pdf, how/where do I pay?
Thanks
What is the medium that you used?
I used Portfolio brand oil pastels. They make some of the best colors I know of.
You have some wonderful projects! I have a classroom art category on my site and I've posted a number of links from yours. I'm sure many of my visitors would be interested in your murals. Thanks for sharing!
I would like to purchase a mural. Which would be easier for 3rd grade- Kandinsky circles or Paul Klee?
Hi Erin,
I think they both would be fine, but if you have to choose the geometric shapes of the Klee Mural are probably a little easier to color.
We would like to use the Kandinsky mural for a Kindergarten art auction project. Our plan was to transfer your templates onto a canvas and have the children paint sections with oil paints. Are we crazy? Do you think a different medium would work better? Thank you...your site has helped this room Mom on several occasions!
Hi Debi,
I love your ambition, but I think that kinders don't usually have that great of control with paint brushes. And I'm not that experienced with oil paint. If you had a ton of supervision, you could maybe make it work, but it does sound a bit risky to me.
What if you were to have each child color theirs with the pastels and then modge podge them to a canvas, would that work?
Love the site! The colours of the artworks are so vibrant! I also work with children and think that the murals would be a great educational tool that the kids would love!
I am curious how Amy's idea came out. I had the same idea for first graders but still trying to figure out a good way of getting the separate sheets in a finished form on canvas. Any suggestions? I agree the oil pastels are best way to go with this age group. I am not sure painting is anything I want to deal with.
