Pointillism Shamrocks

pointillism art for kids, irish crafts for kids, shamrock crafts for kids, clover crafts for kids

This is a very relaxing art project for kids that involves blending different colors of paint to make varying colors of green.

You will need:
white paper
pencil
yellow, blue, green and white paint
pencil with fresh, flat eraser

Begin by mixing paint colors which will result in green shades.
We used one shade of yellow, a teal blue, dark blue, two shades of green and white.



Lightly draw or trace a shamrock on a piece of white paper.


Children may want a piece of wax paper or white paper to dab the eraser after dipping to avoid large clumps of paint depositing on the paper after dipping in paint. Wax paper will also allow them to make even more shades of green by slowly mixing the 6 shades together in varying steps. 




This project takes patience to cover most of the white space within the clover. 
For younger children or those with challenges focusing or sitting, draw a smaller clover. 
Smaller clover, less white space to fill :)
