A COLLAGE/PAINTING BY ROBERT ESQUIVEL
Bob is a very talented artist living in Lincoln, Nebraska. He very kindly allowed some of his work to appear in the recent book, Mixed Painting Media, available mid-2012, and in another book project of mine as well.

Art Activity for Kids
All you need for this fun project are some colored markers and some clear acetate. The markers can be either water-based or permanent. Cut the acetate into small rectangles (1.5" x 2") , and give two or three of them to each child.
Have the kids make mini-designs of their choice on each rectangle. Tell them that the more lines and shapes they fill in, the better!
Then mount the mini-creations in slide mounts, and either import them into a computer with a slide scanner or put on an actual slideshow the old-fashioned way, with a real projector. Popcorn and music would go nicely with your presentation.
