Contact_FullName: HMarie Contact_Email: Twisted_candi@hotmail.com date:: 03/29/02 Area: Good Friday Art Idea: Also similar to something already mentioned... I cut out a fat black cross from 9x12 construction paper. I cut out the middle, leaving @1/2 inch 'frame'. I tear strips of orange, red, yellow tissue paper. Then I give each child a piece of waxed paper to put their cross on and then white glue to make 'spider webs' in- side the cross. Next they are instructed to fill in the cross, cover every bit of glue with the tissue paper strips. They turn out like stained glass filled crosses :) Peel them off the waxed paper the next day. Beautiful in our windows! With my alternate day classes I switched the tissue paper colors to blue, purple, and green. Equally as beautiful :)
4-18-00Give each child a 9" X 12" sheet of dark blue construction paper and a 6" X 9" sheet of brown construction paper. Tear one 9" side of the brown construction paper to resemble a hill. Glue the brown paper at the bottom of the blue paper. Tear tissue paper into 1" squares approximately - use mostly blue, pink, and purple. Glue the tissue paper onto the blue construction paper and cover the blue area entirely. From black construction paper tear pieces to make 3 crosses. Glue the crosses on the background made from the brown paper and the tissue paper sky. When the glue dries, the tissue paper sky resemble stained glass.
Date: 3-26-00Cross on the Hill-- You need to collect tuna fish/cat food cans for the class. We cover the cans with fringed green construction paper for grass. You then use fish gravel to fill the cans. Using Popsicle sticks, let the children decorate, and glue together to form a cross. You then put your cross on the hill.
Date: 3-15-00A Sad Day- color/ water-wash This was an activity we did with our preschoolers after reading about Jesus dying on the cross. You take a white piece of construction paper and write on the top "A Sad Day". Then draw a hill with three crosses on top of the hill. The two side crosses were smaller . Jesus' cross was a little larger and in the center. The children used black crayon to color the hill and crosses. They then used yellow and orange water wash and painted it over the entire paper. Be sure they don't keep painting in the same place or the paper will get a hole in it. The project is easy and turns out great every time. The orange and yellow water wash give the paper a late afternoon, solemn look. We do this one every year.
