Heart Art for Valentine’s Day

I don’t know about all of you, but I’ve ended up teaching art classes in nearly every single school I’ve worked at. Typically I try to get at least a 30 minute session in once each week, but you know how it goes… If something needs to be skipped, it was often art. 🙁

However, I quickly realized that if I could find art projects where the students were on their own for at least half the time, I could get a lot accomplished in those 30 minutes! Below is one of those projects! Heart Art!

I told my students to make any animal they wanted, but they had to be made out of heart shapes (it was nearly Valentine’s Day after all)!

This is one of those easy art projects that is perfect to pull together at the last minute! Grab your construction paper (particularly the scrap box), tell each students to get out scissors and glue, and get going! You’re students are going to love decorating your classroom with these great heart art projects! They can also be used an Valentine’s Day gifts or cards for their family and friends. My kids had WAY too much fun with this! 🙂

Here’s what they came up with!
