Comic Strip "Thumbprint" Books
We recently created 'Thumbody's in Trouble' comic strips for our art workshop on Adam and Eve. The art technique is adaptable to any story.
The inspiration came from Ed Emberley's thumb print art books for kids. His books show how to create people, animals, things, show movement, emotion, etc all by starting with a thumb or fingerprint.
After reading the story, the students were given long paper strips, divided into fourths. They chose their own way of telling the story in four frames with 'thumbodies'.
I found non-permanent WASHABLE ink pads at Michaels and made sure there were plenty of baby wipes for cleaning fingers between prints.
Peace,
Lynn
