Dimensional Grapes Paper Art

This project is good for grades 3 - 6. Younger children might need more help and older children can try the more difficult variations.

Materials:

• Construction paper
• Plain white paper
• Black marker
• Tacky glue
• Crayons
• Optional: green and brown paper twist

Procedure:

1. With a black marker on the white paper, draw a basic vine branch with leaves and one or two cluster of grapes using a nickel for a pattern. Color the vine and leaves, but not the grapes. ***Older children might want to use brown paper twist (twisted) for the branch, and green paper twist (untwisted and leaves cut out) for the leaves. They can sketch out the drawing in pencil and then glue on the twist.
2. Cut strips of purple construction paper 1" wide and cut these to 4" lengths.
3. Glue a strip into a ring to fit the grape shape and glue standing up. Continue until all the grape shapes are filled.
4. Glue picture onto a whole sheet of construction paper and let dry.
