A follow the leader game to play after reading I Ain't Gonna Paint No More
An energetic child attempts to paint everything--the walls, the ceiling, even himself--before Mama finds out in this board book edition of Beaumont and Catrow's \"New York Times\" bestseller. Full color.\nAn energetic child attempts to paint everything--the walls, the ceiling, even himself--before mama finds out in this board book edition of this New York Times best-selling title! A dab of blue here, a splash of red there, a goopy smear of green . . . everywhere. To the tune of \"It Ain't Gonna Rain No More,\" one creative kid floods his world with color, painting first the walls, then the ceiling, then HIMSELF! Before this feisty artist is through, he'll have painted his head, back, hands, legs, feet, and . . . Oh no--here comes Mama! Karen Beaumont's zippy text and David Catrow's zany illustrations turn an infamous childhood activity into raucous storytime fun, giving a silly twist to the fine art of self-expression.

My wonderful friend Mrs. Peterson came up with this lesson when she used to teach at Brimfield. Be sure to check out her blog at her new home with middle school art at Perry Local Schools. Before starting these life-sized artworks, we read I Ain't Gonna Paint No More by Karen Beaumont and illustrated by David Catrow. In the book, a little boy, who is told by his mother to stop painting the insides of the house, covers himself in paint; from head to toe. The kids love the story and then have an absolute blast tracing each other on kraft roll paper. We used crayola Slick Stix to draw patterns all over the sillhouettes and then used Biggie Cakes to paint the patterns. We had to get creative with our classroom space, but most of the kids really enjoyed working on the floor!

I'm Gonna Live Like Tomorrow Doesn't Exist 8x10 inches Acrylic and Ink on flat canvas board *You will receive the exact painting pictured* *Signs are intended for indoor decoration only* I create Abstract Lyric and Quote Paintings. Each piece has a unique design and is hand painted original artwork by me, Jennifer Gail. I don’t just write words with a pen, I hand dip a brush for each letter painted. It’s special and unique and a gives a different feel with each and every piece. Each piece tells a story. I paint the emotions I feel at the time. What ever comes out onto the canvas is what is meant to be. I love the free flow feeling of creating abstract art. If you don't see what you're looking for just send me a message and let me know what I can create for you! Art makes the world a little brighter, thank you for ordering!

Amazon.com: I Ain't Gonna Paint No More!: 9780152024888: Beaumont, Karen, Catrow, David: Books
A New York Times best-selling masterpiece featuring a sing-song rhyming text and humorous energetic illustrations about a spirited child and outside-the-box, creative thinking. When the child gets caught painting everything from the ceiling to the floor, Mama says \"Ya ain't a-gonna paint no more!\" But nothing will keep this artist from painting! Written to the familiar tune \"It Ain't Gonna Rain No More,\" the text bounces alongside vibrant stylized pen-and-ink drawings, while page-turns offer up a fun read-aloud guessing game in which kids will delightfully participate. What will the child paint next? \"So I take some red and I paint my . . . HEAD!\" Silliness paired with the ruckus read-aloud appeal will have every reader begging for repeat reads.
I am linking up with elizabeth at Caldwell Organized Chaos today for a linky party. Being a crafty, creative kind of person I have dabbled in many art/crafty activities; jewelry making, rug braiding, weaving, painting, quilting, etc. I love the liquid nature of paints and the vibrancy of pure colors. Better yet, I love when colors melt into one another, creating swirls, patterns, dots, and drips. Today I am sharing one of my favorite spring lessons that would work well for younger students; I use this mostly with Kindergarten and first grades. First, I tell them the story of John, who really wanted to be a carpenter. So he bought a hammer and some tools and started making things. Sing "Johnny Works with One Hammer", all the way to "five hammers" as in the video below. Then, I tell them John decided he needed a different kind of job, he enjoyed working with hammers but he really wanted to be a ..... PAINTER! He got so excited he went out and got brushes and paints and began to paint. Sing "Johnny paints with one paintbrush"... move one hand in a swishy up and down pattern, then just like the first song, add a "brush" each time. Next, I tell the students that John's mom came home and found him painting all over the floor, ceiling, carpets and she was not happy. Read/sing/show the book, "I Ain't Gonna Paint No More" by Karen Beaumont. Available here from Amazon.com. Then we perform the activity that goes with Trepak from Lynn Kleiner's "Kids Can Listen, Kids Can Move. WONDERFUL resource! There is a throwing and smearing of paint activity to accompany Trepak from the Nutcracker on page 18. Available here from West Music. As a final activity, we go to a museum! Well..... in a way. We sing, "Let's make a statue shape" to the tune of the Farmer in the Dell and at the end of the song everyone makes a statue shape and holds very still while I "visit the museum". Of course I make funny comments like, "Wow, that statue is a moving sculpture.. I didn't know they had those. I don't like those very much! They freak me out!". The kiddos giggle, but get the point; no moving. We sing again and I tour the museum making various comments. Then I tell them the sculptures in the next museum are partnered. Sing, they figure out how to connect with a partner, etc. From there we create sculptures with groups of 3, then 4, etc. until we have a whole class sculpture. It's a great time to talk about levels of movement; high, medium, low, and for them to work through the problem of creating movement while being connected to another person. Enjoy!
