Here’s a fun project to do for your next art adventure. Alter some artwork! Twisted Sifter posted the altered thrift store masterpieces by artists Chris McMahon and Thryza Segal, and the results are so fun!
You can generally pick up oil and acrylic paintings at thrift stores for next to nothing, and then assign the kids the task of adding in a magical creature or two.
My late father was an artist and he often bought thrift store paintings and just painted over them completely since it was much cheaper than buying new canvases. I’ve planned for a long time to take some paintings and have the kids just add on to them, but I like this idea even better. We recently bought a bucketload of framed art and pictures for Victoria’s photography, and now I think we need to go back and get another stash for this project.
Fun!
