ARTFUL AUGUST PROJECTS
The First Kids Ministry Team has put together a whole month-load of art projects to do with the family at home. But we don't want it to stop there, we want to be able to showcase what you've made. We will be holding a Kids Art Show on Sunday October 11, 2020 where we'll display the art Your kids have created. We'll invite the First Church Family to see how the kids have interpreted the Bible stories through art. If you missed the projects in the Kids E-Magazine, they are all listed below with links to follow.
SUN, MOON, STARS METALLIC PAPER
The Sun, moon, stars, and planets give us a glimpse of how perfect God’s creation is. All three things work together to make our planet the only one that can sustain life. Space is such a fun subject and highlights the Creation story that God made it all.
BEAN ART ANIMALS
Bean and seed mosaics have been around for ages, and if you’ve made them before you’ll know how fun and satisfying they are to make. And by using bright shades of paint in combination with the beans, they get a playful, modern look. Get a variety of beans to make your favorite animal. Is it an ape, a duck, or a dog? What is your favorite animal?
LEAF PEOPLE
This craft is super fun and easy to put together. Go for a walk around the park or your house and gather colorful leaves of all shapes and sizes to make some adorable leaf people. Glue your leaves to a piece of paper to make a person.
GARDEN OF EDEN COLLAGE
To demonstrate the beauty and life that filled the Garden of Eden, we can make collages filled with living plants, flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Start by going through some old magazines and tearing out pages that contain anything living – and create a collage of Eden.
RAINBOW RAINY DAY ART
Making rainbow rainy day art is a simple and fun STEAM activity for kids. All you need are some washable markers, watercolor paper or heavyweight cardstock, and the desire to have fun
and get creative on a rainy day. |
SUN MOSAIC
Ancient Romans created beautiful
mosaic artworks. According to the BBC, the mosaics used in Rome were home decorations and ranged from store-bought common designs to custom made designs. 
TISSUE PAPER STAINED GLASS FISH
Stained glass is glass colored by
adding metallic salts when it is made. The colored glass is made into stained glass windows. Small pieces of glass are arranged to form patterns or pictures. The glass is held together by strips of lead and supported by a rigid frame. You can do something similar with colored tissue paper to color your room. 
SELF PORTRAITS
These self-portraits for kids are a sweet and colorful introduction to what a self-portrait really is. A few guided drawing tips along with a bright, beautiful tissue paper background makes this art lesson a winner for any age.
VEGETABLES STAMPING
There are so many fun ways to create awesome artwork with fruits and vegetables. Citrus printing process art is an easy art project. It is a super fun art technique for kids to learn to use paints and art materials, explore their creativity, and practice stamping to make art.
RAINBOW SCRAPE PAINTING
All you need is acrylic paint and art paper, plus a flat edge such as a ruler or card stock. Watch the video to see how easy this abstract artwork is to make. Try out different tools to drag paint to make different styles of lines.

MOON MOSAIC
CDs are a great material for mixed-media art since they have a distinctive cool shiny texture, and their round shape makes them perfect for spinning crafts too. In this activity, you'll need to gather some old CDs to smash up to make a mosaic.
TINFOIL SCULPTURE
God created the first man as a special creation. He told the man that he is supposed to care for God’s creation. When God’s creation was complete, He announced that it is very good! God created you special too. Twist, bend, stretch, curve, angle, twirl your tinfoil sculpture to artistically show what you like to do: dance, kick a ball, jump rope!
NOODLE SUNFLOWERS
Dried pasta crafts are so cheap to make and fun to do! These rotini sunflowers are no exception. Pant your own flowers indoors by making this cute craft. Set out a box of pasta and glue as well as green pipe cleaners, paper, and some markers.
RAINBOW KANDINSKY CIRCLES
Kandinsky's abstract piece, "Squares with Concentric Circles", is the perfect study for kids. It’s simple to replicate but still deals with abstract art subjects like concentric circles, colors, and squares. This art project brings in the colors of the rainbow as an added element.
