Hangin By A Wire

 What You'll Need:
Recycled Wire Hangers
Wire Cutters
Felt or Foam
Glue
Scissors
Yarn

  1. Cut 5 different shapes from the hangers.
  2. Bend in the center.
  3. Create or use matching shapes on each end of the hangers.
  4. Glue to the ends and allow to completely dry.
  5. Cut about 2-3" of yarn
  6. Tie each hanger center to the next.
  7. Tie the final or top hanger piece to the cute hook.

If you haven't yet gotten on the Kid Made Modern boat, I'd say check it out.
I came across this book in the library before it hit shelves at Target and fell in love with it.
As an Art Teacher, I want my children to be familiar with artists, styles, and open to create.
This book introduces an artist, shows examples of artwork, then allows children and adults to create within the artist style and genre. Awesome!

Great Uses:
Artist Introduction: You may think children are too young to hear words such as Picaso or Jackson Pollock, but the more they hear and are exposed to art, the more creative children we produce.
More businesses are suggesting corporate managers go back for their MFA to learn how to think outside the box and become creative. No society has survived without art, artists and creative thinking.
