About a week and a half ago, we launched an art pack that contained materials for interesting art projects that parents and children could work on together. We had fun curating and preparing materials that went into this pack.
We are excited about the art packs that were delivered to the four Friends of TLC who placed orders.There are materials that are good for at least four art projects in each pack. All the packs were sold out. Thank you June, Jing Rui, Mariana and Izyan for your support. As a bonus for your support, we doubled the quantity of coloured crepe paper, blank bookmarks and ribbons.
You can start with any project at any time. There is no one way to create nor fixed time-frame to complete the art projects. What is most important is that you take time to explore possibilities and enjoy the process. Let your ideas flow freely. Enjoy exploring, playing and creating art using these materials. Do share your ideas with us. We look forward to seeing your creative works of art.

[ PROCESS ART - COLLAGE MAKING ]
In the following visual guide, we will share the process of creating a collage design for the bookmarks. Follow this guide to create your own designs.
How will you design your bookmarks? Have a look at the patterned papers you received in your pack. What shapes and colours do you see? Which pattern caught your eye? Which are the patterns that look interesting to you?
For our bookmark, we cut out a row of triangles and pasted it on the long side of the blank bookmark. They look like buntings.
Adults at home can help younger children cut the shapes or allow them to tear paper into strips or small pieces for this craft. Make small cuts along the sides of the patterned paper to make it easier for children to tear the paper.
How will you start yours? What are the colours you see in the patterned papers? How do those colours make you feel? How will you design your bookmarks? What is your favourite shape?
We saw pastel green and yellow squares arranged in a circular shape. It looked like the shell of a snail. Many of our favourite things are green and yellow. What are some things you know that are green or yellow?

We used a craft punch to cut star shapes but you can also draw a shape on the back of the patterned paper and cut it out using a pair of scissors.
We wonder what shapes you are adding to your bookmark design. Are there any shapes that you can combine to form a new shape? What do the shapes remind you of? Can you spot the fish we added to our bookmark design?
Remember to take short breaks when you run out of ideas. Here is something you can do when you for fun. Patterns are all around us. Go on a pattern hunt at home. What patterns do you see in your room? What shapes do you see at home?

Our bookmark is done. We looked at the different patterns on the papers and cut out shapes that looked interesting to us. We played with different arrangement using the shapes and when we were happy with the arrangement, we pasted the shapes on the blank bookmark. Some shapes have curved lines while others have straight lines. We used shapes with both straight and curved lines.
The next post will be on Crepe Paper Printing. Stay tuned.
