Texture city

This art activity was inspired by Texture Cities at Art Lessons for Kids. We simplified the activity a little bit. First we hunted around the house for some textured materials -felt, scraps of fabric of various textures, scraps of leather, different paper (wrapping paper for gifts, paper bags, tissue paper,paper towel), aluminum foil etc. Then D. drew the landscape using crayons- I only asked it to be a city and for details to be big enough and not to color them yet. After a small break D. picked out scraps of materials and a spot where to put each. I helped him trim scraps so they fit nicely. He glued them on and colored the rest using oil pastels. Some watercolor stains over the paper tower castle too :)
