mini masterpieces of art for kids

Mixed Media Hearts

February 1, 2019 Comment : 1

My little artists, ages 7 and 8, created these adorable beautiful hearts using various art materials. Before creating we read the poem Queen of Hearts for a little inspiration.

The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summer’s day;  The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts and took them clean away. The King of Hearts called for the tarts and scolded the Knave full sore
The Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts and vowed he’d steal no more.

How fun are stripes and polka dots! 


Imagine any type of pattern. Just make sure they paint on both sides of their paper for a symmetrical look. Let projects dry. Students used oil pastels and drew more designs around the heart. The sensory experience of using oil pastels and feeling the pastel glide across the paper is something a student never forgets!  

A full directed drawing lesson of how to create this adorable heart project, in addition to the King and Queen of Hearts lesson, is available in the shop at
