After discussing different types of art, I taught the kids about kinetic art. I explained that kinetic art moves, whether by using a motor or machine, the wind, or the hand of a viewer. We looked at some kinetic art including mobiles. Using good old paper bags, the girls made their own kinetic art in the form of a puppet.
I allowed them to make anything they wished, so it could be a made up creature as well as a person or animal they could name. The only criteria was that the folded area (where the mouth typically is on paper bag puppets) has to be a mouth. I placed out a bunch of colored scrap paper, buttons, googly eyes, and markers.
