The problem with people who need art projects to fill the year is that the projects they do are very boring. They tend to copy models of crafts projects they see online and then have the children copy them like robots. People like this get nervous about there being enough of those silly projects to fill up all the spaces they have available for art.
If you are a believer in art and want the children to get the best experiences they can from their art then there will never be enough time to do all of the art that is around. Take drawing for children for example. When children learn to draw they learn the basic skills they need to make a drawing. Once they know what to do they can then go to town and draw whatever they want. Most artists tend to draw from life and the experiences in life are like an endless idea pool.You can draw experiences that happened to you, people you know, people you don’t know and all of the everyday objects that are part of our lives. You can also choose different mediums to draw with that add endless variety as well.
Beside drawing there are also hundreds of collage ideas one can use to create art.For example: If you want to experiment with colors you can collect many different materials in the colors you are working with and make collages with them. Or you can make representational collages, or collages with photographs added to them. The possibilities are endless and you will see how you will have so much art do to, you’ll never be able to finish all your ideas.
