Adam's Art Spot : Pizza Base Art



I have a crazy creative boy living in my house, who LOVES art and crafts and tackles them with speed and gusto! Needless to say he has many great ideas of his own. In fact, my ideas are often left by the way side and replaced with his. I must say that managing his enthusiasm and my little one at the same time, makes for very messy, high energy, disaster management art sessions. But I do it - 'cause I know it's good for them!

I previously promised to share some of my son's super art ideas, so I have decided to make this a regular feature.  So I hope you enjoy this, the first of "Adam's Art Spot".

Now I'm sure that these are not all original ideas, in that Adam may have seen the idea on TV, or in a book, or at School. I, however, am choosing to give him full credit for them, seen as he always tends to put his own spin on art. As for this idea, he claims he just got this idea from his brain! Who am I to argue! So these lovely plates are painted polystyrene pizza bases. Painted and then using the back of the paintbrush, while the paint is still wet, he has drawn his family. I'm the green one, Dad red, and Adam and his baby brother in yellow! I think these make rather attractive and modern wall art!


Now you may know of "Art Attack." I only know the books, having never seen a TV program or a DVD. My son and I can both highly recommend the Art Attack website. It is jam packed with very cool ideas. I must mention that the crafts are definitely geared towards an older child and there are not many girly crafts, but lots of fun crafts for boys.

Till Adam's next attack, I hope you are inspired!

I love this! I have a "creative soul" in my home as well, and am always trying to come up with new things for him to try out. Thanks for sharing, and for adding the links- - I'll be checking them out. Glad I stopped by from the Kiddos Create party!

Blessings!

This is a great project! You know, when I first looked at them I thought of a stop light! I love how you used them as modern art!!! I have been trying to get more of my kids art up on the wall!!

Thanks for linking up! Oh, I bookmarked the site. I will have to check it out!

Dear Georgia, just discovered your blog. I am pleased to find another South African on the web. I'm from just outside Durban myself. I am a grannie whose 2 grandkids are 12 and 4. I am always looking for activities for them and then forward them to my daughter who lives in Jhb, although I have a box of tricks for when they come to visit.I am looking forward to what you have to share with us.
