7 Famous Landmarks around the World
Learning about famous landmarks around the world can be fun as we use different technique in art to recreate these famous landmarks.
1. Eiffel Tower, Paris, France
Using glitter glue, Faith created this scene of Eiffel Tower in the night sky filled with fireworks.
This is a good activity to train gross motor skills and helps toddler to practice squeezing. You need some strength to use the glitter glue.
Carefully putting the yellow glitter glue on the stars. |
squeezing lots of glitter glue to make the fireworks. |
So satisfied with her work, she insisted on taking a picture with it. |
2. Great Pyramid and Sphinx, Giza, Egypt.
This activity trains hand and eye coordination. Dotting with a cotton bud may seem easy, but to dot them in all the white spaces needs some hand eye coordination.
My little girl suggested Finger Printing for this landmark.
She started with finger tip dotting. |
Realizing that this part of the building is about the length of her whole index finger, she started printed her whole index finger. |
happy with her discovery. |
Too slow to paint with her finger? So hand printing. |
We tried doing glue resistant art.. but it did not turn out well. I guess it doesn't work with poster colour. Will try glue resistant art with watercolour the next time.
5. Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Faith decided to keep it simple by just colouring it with colour pencil.
6. The Great Wall, China
Texture rubbing
Faith suggesting colouring on a piece of rock for her Great Wall. |
7. Statue of Liberty, New York City, United States
