Norman Rockwell’s magazine covers each tell a compelling story (full biography & online activities). Have you ever wondered what was happening around those main characters? This Norman Rockwell inspired multimedia collage will help you to try your own hand at expanding on his story.
To complete this project each child will need:
- glue stick or White glue with a couple cotton swabs
- Scissors
- Black drawing marker – a Sharpie is fine
- everyday pencil of any quality
- printouts of several Norman Rockwell post covers in black & white
- printout of Saturday Evening Post header – printed horizontally to fill the page
- construction paper, white 12×18″ (it is important that this paper be larger than the size of your printout)
- Oil Pastels, 12 piece set, we recommend Pentel *can be shared
- several old magazines to cut up
Consider printing your finished artwork on a card, and writing your own magazine articles to go inside. What do you think was happening in the world at this time?
