Modern Art Card Project for Kids

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: one card

Supplies:

• 8.2 x 5.4 in red cardstock
• A5 sized ordinary white printer paper
• seven small self-adhesive silver star stickers
• Faber Castell 0.7mm black ecco pigment pen
• Giotto décor textile pens: red; yellow; ultramarine; sky blue; neon green; neon yellow
• quick-drying craft glue (such as Bostik Clear)
• red glitter glue pen
• standard scissors
• ruler
• pencil
• soft eraser

Steps:

1. Use the pencil and ruler to draw a 5.1" x 4" frame on the white printer paper. Then use the pencil to draw a tangled squiggle pattern in the frame.
2. Use the black pen and ruler to draw over the frame's pencil lines, and then draw over the squiggle pattern's pencil lines. Allow to dry and gently erase any remaining pencil lines.

3. Use the Giotto pens to color the squiggle pattern.



4. Cut out the squiggle pattern.
5. Score the red cardstock to create a card sized 5.4" x 4.1".
6. With the fold at the left, centre and glue the squiggle pattern to the front of the card.

7. Apply a thin layer of red glitter glue to highlight some areas colored with the red pen and allow to dry.
8. Add the stars to complete the card.
