Catherine Romano blogs about crafty projects for kids and parents
When I was a little girl, I spent my summers at fine arts camp. Most days were spent designing costumes for the new production or creating sculptures out of found objects. However, one art project I remember very well (and happened to love) was quite simple – body tracing. Body tracing is when you roll out a long sheet of craft paper, lie down, and have a friend trace your body. Then, you cut out the shape and decorate yourself. I can clearly remember positioning myself in the most perfect pirouette position, decorating the tracing with tulle, jewels, and a few fantastic satin ribbons. This life size silhouette was all me and I loved it.
