Dr. Seuss Art

This project is a low-prep, fun way to honor Dr. Seuss!

Materials

• 11 x 17 in white construction paper (twice as many as you have students)
• tempura paint
• paint brushes (small and large)
• black permanent markers
• pencils
• glue (school or stick)
• Dr. Seuss books for reference

Steps

1. Students paint broad horizontal or vertical stripes across their first piece of construction paper in a single color, leaving the background white.
2. While the backgrounds dry students draw their favorite Dr. Seuss character lightly in pencil.
3. Paint over the pencil with tempura paint.
4. Once the paint dries, outline the character in permanent marker (optional).
5. Cut out the character.
6. Glue character onto background.
