LOST & FOUND

Upcycled Book 
Page Pets!

New life for an old book!

Our kindergarten 

smallSHOP artists 

made their own adorable pets

using discarded book pages, 

found paper and imagination!

We learned how to plan a collage 

and 

build an animal from shapes.

We practiced cutting skills 

and 

added lots of details to make 

our pets extra special.

And we realized that inspiring art making

materials can be found all around us!

What else can you create 

from recycled materials?

Have fun!

always,

Mixed Media Abstraction

Adorable Abstraction

6 year old smallSHOP artists explored abstraction

with amazing results!

We layered overlapping geometric shapes

and used repetition to create rhythm in our artwork.

We made thoughtful color choices

using layers of gouache, watercolor pencils and paint pens.

We carved a pattern into round pieces of scratch foam

and added a layer of printmaking.

We let our paint drip and our prints be imperfect.

Instead of sticking to a plan, 

we let the artwork tell us where to go next.

Exploring different materials 

and embracing the "happy accident" 

creates a playful, experimental environment 

where these young artists shine.

We love the vivid, rhythmic energy of these pieces 

and we're so inspired by our little artist's

 adventurous art making.

Have a creative day!

always,

smallSHOP
