I have to say, that this craft is very simple, so for those of you who want something cute and simple, this one's for you!

The craft calls for magazines, a pair of scissors, a marker, and either scotch or masking tape. All you really have to do is flip through a magazine until you find a page you like. When you find it, take your marker and draw a letter (make it big!) that is part of your message/word in block/bubble/cursive, and cut it out. Do the same with the rest of your letters. When your message is cut out, use tape to tape it on the wall. turn on a fan to make sure it is stuck on properly. For a better understanding, watch the video below, bye!

The Answer is in Your Hands...

Throughout their career, both Vincent Van Gogh  and Leonardo da Vinci have done amazing work, yet people still have a question up in their heads, which one is better?

Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Willem Van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist artist, famous for his work in the 1800s. Although he had died at a very young age, it wasn't until his death that his paintings had become famous. During his career, Van Gogh's work was only known by a few, and appreciated by even less. He started to draw at an early age, but didn't pick up painting until his late 20's, completing some of his best-known works during the last two years of his life, before he died at the age of 37, on March 30, 1853. In just over a decade, Van Gogh had produced more than 2,100 artworks, consisting of 860 oil paintings and over 1,300 watercolors, drawings, sketches and paints. Some of his paintings include the famous "Starry Night", his collection of self portraits, "Bedroom in Arles", and "Starry Night over the Rhone."

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was an Italian Renaissance polymath:  painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. He is widely considered to be the greatest painter of all time, and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lives. Living to the age of 67, he had an interest in many things, but is still known widely for his best known paintings, that include the "Mona Lisa". Due to his new techniques, which were constant and frequently disastrous, though, only about fifteen of his paintings have survived. Throughout his art career, his interest in science had influenced him.
