Creating a border in kids drawings
I've already mentioned elsewhere on this blog that I'm a fan of Donna Hugh's art videos. The idea for making a border for artwork came from one of her videos. I demonstrate it here and include a few examples of work from my kids.

I very often include a border with the kids projects. Sometimes I will just mount the pictures onto a larger piece of construction paper and the kids can decorate that border.
ReplyDeleteI always try to have a border when my students paint but it requires a bit a prep work on my part. I pre-tape the papers to a larger piece of heavy stock. I use paper that is donated by a local paper company for the stock so don't really know what it is. The stock measures about 18 x 24. I use a blue painter's tape so it removes with ease. After the paper is taped down, I use a sharpie to write each child's name on the tape portion of the set-up. It's more work for me but it leaves a really nice border for a finished look on their work.
