This is a copy of the original artwork - Snail by Kusama Yayoi.
The artist is known for her dot paintings, sculptures and installations. I found this artwork "Snail" a great introduction of colors and shapes to children.
This is my third tribute project with the little artists - "Snail Under Moonlight".
I drew a more simplified version of a snail and cut it out for the little artists. Other materials needed are shown below: red construction paper, purple origami paper, some round color labels, markers, school glue and scissor.
This morning, Little E and I were ready to do this project at a friend's house. The little artists seems to like the idea of making a little slug!
1. Cover the body of the the snail with purple and yellow dots using markers. Draw eyes. (It's so cute that they drew a smiley mouth, too!)
2. Peel and stick the quartered label on the shell - one green swirl, one red swirl.
3. Dot the green swirl with purple marker. Dot the red swirl with pink marker.
4. Glue the snail on the red construction paper.
5. Shred the purple origami paper by hand into small piece and glue under the snail to make ground.
6. Stick the yellow round labels on to make 3 moons.
The little artist were very patient and focused! Here are their artwork!
