Modern Art: Ladybug Girl & Bumblebee Boy

We read this cute little book called Ladybug Girl and Bumble Bee Boy and were inspired to do this modern art project! The book is about a little girl who pretends to be a ladybug and a little boy who…you guessed it..pretends to be a bumble bee.

For our project, I cut some rectangles (about 4×6 inches) out red and yellow cardstock. We used a bottle top and some black acrylic paint to stamp the dots on the red paper…representing the ladybugs. For the bumble bee, we taped masking tape over the yellow cardstock in fairly evenly spaced intervals and painted and painted over it. Then we removed the tape to reveal the lines…representing the bees.

Put them together and viola…modern art inspired by Ladybug Girl and Bumble Bee Boy! I think it turned out great! I plan on framing it and putting it up in our playroom.
