Materials: construction paper, scissors, glue, paint, magazines, and newspapers (optional)
- Explain that Christian Robinson makes his pictures using both paint and shapes cut from colored paper. Sometimes he also uses pieces from newspapers and magazines. Let kids explore some of his illustrations—but make sure children know that their finished artwork will be all their own!
- Set out the materials above, and give each child a plain sheet of construction paper. Let children explore Christian’s techniques freely. Abstract designs are fine—it’s all about the process!
- Finally, display children’s work and let volunteers describe how they created their art!
