"The Book of Mistakes" by Corinna Luken
Things don't always go exactly as y'all plan. Particularly the first time around. It's pretty much a solid fact of life. That is why a good for you perspective of mistakes is and then important. If nosotros tin can teach our kids that mistakes are a part of a successful journey and that beauty tin be found in them, just think of how empowered they will be. This book is a wonderful launch point for discussion on just that.
It starts with the narrator explaining the procedure for the illustrations in the book. They calmly point out that making 1 centre larger than another on the protagonist was a mistake, but putting spectacles on to complete the wait was a adept thought. And and then the process continues every bit the reader watches the narrator/illustrator make fault later on fault and turn it into a wonderful opportunity or something new each and every time.
Considering the skeleton of this "story" is so straightforward and clear it makes a wonderful demonstration of "growth mindset" for children and is a cracking pattern for them to follow in their own art experiences. Make a fault, so plow it into fantastic art.

Ink Absorb Art inspired past "The Book of Mistakes"
Equally mentioned above, this volume follows the artists process of making mistakes and so turning them into something new. Many of the "mistakes" in the book look like splatters of ink which gave me the idea of pairing this book with ink blot art. The famous phenomena about ink blots is that different people can expect at the same ink absorb and see different things. That made them a perfect fit for this activity.
Essentially for this craft all you do is create a random ink blot on your paper and then once information technology is dry you use colored pencils to turn it into something new. The possibilities with each inkblot are endless and permit each niggling creative person complete creative freedom. My kiddos really enjoyed watching their ink blots grade and nosotros had so much fun sharing what we each saw in them. That makes this book not only a peachy discussion tool for the beauty of mistakes, merely a discussion on perspectives.
Supplies:
- colored pencils
- acrylic, blackness paint
- pigment brush
- scissors
- 2 pieces of white cardstock
Process:
- Gather your supplies.
- Fold one of your pieces of white card stock into fourths and and so cutting out one of the "quarter square" to use for your "ink blot".
- Fold that "quarter square" in one-half and squeeze a pocket-size amount of blackness acrylic paint on one side of the fold in a random manner. Then apply a paintbrush to spread the pigment out on that same side until you lot create an abstruse splotch.
- Close the fold of your "quarter square" with the paint on the inside and printing it flat. When yous open information technology you should have a symmetrical absorb.
- Immediately use that blot as a stamp and press information technology to your whole, remaining pice of white carte stock. When you remove information technology you should have a blot that looks more than like ink.
- Wait for your pigment to dry out and then use colored pencils or some other art medium of your choice to create a moving-picture show featuring your ink blot.
In the photos higher up we turned the "ink blot" into a butterfly. We had a lot of fun and I promise yous and your kids enjoy this ane as much as we did.
