3-Dimensinal picture...........

Shreyash's teacher had asked to submit some art and craft projects for his school magazine. I wondered for some time what to prepare using his skills. Finally selected this picture from his coloring book. We (Shreyash and me) made this picture using pista coverings, green grass leaves, Dal, cloth and cotton. He did finger printing for flowers and pasted all these materials (of course with my help......). Below grass pasted paper-tearing for hiding blue color of sheet. I used a rectangular paper for beak. All this gave a 3D look to picture.

Finally I added border by pasting silver and dark brown paper. His teacher appreciated this work and I was happy that it was actually done by using his skills.

Also painted a Christmas Tree using hand printing. Again Shreyash did this and he was really happy coloring his hands in green. He liked it so much that wanted to keep that painting for home. But then I suggested to submit it in school and make another for home.

In all it was nice experience and best part is Shreyash has also got bitten by this creative bug and wants to do something everyday. Hope I'll be able to keep this firing in him....................
