This week for Artsbridge Mrs. Roundy had the students use part of themselves to create tiny little works of art....their fingerprints!
The project was inspired by Ed Emberley, an artist and illustrator who is best known for children's picture books. She gave each of them a handout filled with different animals that were created using fingerprints and adding details with a marker. Each table had ink pads of all the complimentary colors and the students pressed their fingertip into the color of their choice and then onto the blank square paper to create the body. After, they were able to add details to it with fine tip markers. The students got to choose their 9 most favorite ones and got to work creating the most adorable little animals you have ever seen!
They turned out so cute! I just want to take them all home with me and hang them up all over my house :)
