Lesson #11- Foil Fun

Foil Fun

Materials-
Paper
Works best with hot glue and gun, but white glue will work as well
Aluminium foil
 1 Q-tip
sharpies

Step 1

With a hot glue gun create fun shapes or a scene on the paper

The hot glue gun is hot, be sure to use caution

I used scratch paper

Step 2

Place a sheet of foil over the top after it is dried and cooled. Gently use a Q-tip to push the foil down around the bumps.

Step 3-

Use Sharpie to color your scene anyway you would like

Step 4-

 Take a picture and share

Lesson #10- Salt Art

Salt Art

This is a messy project and is best done outside. This project requires a bit more time because you have to wait for the project to dry.

 Materials-

Paper (the thicker the better)

Glue in a bottle

Salt

Water color paints

Step 1-

Use glue to make fun designs on the paper

Step 2-

Add salt to the wet glue. We placed our art on a serving tray to conserve the mess and be able to collect and reuse the excess salt

Step 3-

Let dry! This is a very important step. We let our art a full 24 hours

Step 4-

Use water colors and gently touch the salt with the color on your brush

It's very cool how the paint spreads as it gets absorbed by the salt.

Step 5-
Take a picture and share

Lesson #9-Cardboard Masks

Cardboard Masks

I was inspired by these creative masks, hopefully you will be too!

Materials-

Cardboard- We used Amazon boxes from recent deliveries

Paint

Glue

Old magazines (optional)

Step 1

Cut out a unique shaped head and other shapes for eyes, nose, and mouth

Step 2

Paint or color each piece separately

Step 3

Painted by my 3 year old

My daughter added ears and earrings

 Once the paint is dry, glue the facial features to your face.

Step 4- Optional

I wanted mine to look even more abstract, so I cut our features from an old magazine and glued on.

Step 5- 

Be sure to share a picture of your work
