Poems and Paintings
Budding artists and writers tap into their natural creative energies to experience first-hand the links between visual arts and the written word.
1. Spread newspaper over a work surface. With Crayola® Washable Kid's Paint and Paint Brushes, create a picture of an object, person, scene, or idea that interests you.
2. While your painting is drying, use Crayola Markers to draft a poem about your picture. Use your colors and images to inspire your words.
3. When your painting is dry, cut it out with Crayola Scissors. Attach it to construction paper with a Crayola Glue Stick. Copy your poem on your picture. Add Crayola Glitter Glue for accents.
