In the story, Ish,
a little boy named Ramon loves to draw, but loses his confidence when his
picture is laughed at by his older brother. Over and over he crumples his
drawings and tosses them on the floor and is ready to give up on art. But, his
younger sister has been secretly gathering the crumpled drawings and displays
them. She teaches Ramon that art isn’t about being perfect, but about thinking
more -ishly!
Kindergartners were inspired by all of Ramon’s crumpled
papers in the story and made their own crumpled paper art. This is a great process
art activity that really gets the kids excited about creating!
