The Art of Music Month

6/26/2017

0 Comments

 
We love the month of June for so many reasons. One of them is that June is the month in which African-American contributions to music are highlighted. As we celebrate these amazing contributions, our latest Picture Book Story Time features the children's book, One Love. This colorful book is based on the popular song by renowned musician, Bob Marley and was adapted into a children's book by his daughter, Cedella Marley. The lovely illustrations were created by one of our favorite illustrators, Vanessa Brantley-Newton. We also created a colorful tamborine inspired art lesson related to the story. Check out the steps below to see how we made it.

Materials

1. 2 Paper Plates
2. Small Bells
3. Chenille Stems
4. Craft Paint
5. Paint Brush
6. Markers
7. Colorful Wasabi Tape
​8. Colorful Ribbon
9. Glue Stick
10. Scissors
​11. Circle Template
​
Picture
I used the paint to paint the perimeter or each paper plate.​​
Picture
I traced the circle template on a neutral colored sheet of scrapbook paper two times and cut them out. I decorated both circles with markers.
​
Picture
After I glued one circle in the middle of each plate, I punched seven holes around the perimeter of one plate. Then I lined the plates up together, to mark the holes onto the second plate, I then punched holes into the second plate.
Picture
I used the colorful tape to tape both plates together. I finished the plate by stringing bells onto chenille stems and placing them through the holes. I twisted the chenille stems together so that they hold the bells on the plate. Colorful ribbon was strung through the bottom hole and used to add more color to the plate.
