The half-term holiday is now over, and today we have entered back into the routine of school. During the holidays, we brainstormed ideas and activities to do at home while in lockdown.
Category Archives: Art and Crafts
Colourful and creative artwork including printing, abstract and contemporary art. Halloween and Easter themed craft too. Additionally, DIY craft projects, and art gallery family art.
Work using cardboard, (recycled material) and inspiration from Steampunk and Goosebumps. Creative artwork with a t-shirt design using lino printing.
Being creative making fidget sensory toys/figures out of pipe cleaners. Painting ceramic skulls, using modelling clay, and creating sand and dot art.
Attending family art sessions at an art gallery. Furthermore, writing an article on MK Gallery and the work they do to create inclusive art for all, with their art and us programme.
Making a Christmas wreath and DIY craft activities. Designing a Christmas board game and Johnny 5 from the Short Circuit movie.
Finding solace in art during lockdown and painting for wellbeing.
Creating indoor camping and an indoor beach, and a mini art studio at home.
Plenty of art and crafts content on the blog!
Steampunk Art
My son wanted to try a different style of art, thus decided to focus on Steampunk art. Steampunk art draws inspiration from the industrial revolution, which started in Great Britain and was more prominent during the Victorian era.
Art Studio at Home
A recurring theme throughout our blog is art. For us, art allows us to use what motivates and inspires us to create artwork. So what better way to explore different art forms then to set up an art studio at home.
Halloween 2020
My son chose three plastic skeleton figures when he was shopping with his dad last year. For some strange reason, the figure on the right reminds me of the Skeksis character from Dark Crystal.
