I order for artists to excel, it is important to learn about all different types of materials that can be used to create art. In our 3rd grade Enrichment Cluster we are doing just that!
For our first project we practiced drawing on aluminum foil in order to prepare us for our final project. This is unique because it is not your normal pencil and paper drawings which can help young artists learn about mixed media and explore different mediums.
The following week were able to start on our following project; making Aztec snakes from foil, Styrofoam and card stock. First we cut out our snakes from card stock.
Next, we used recycled styrofoam materials to cut out a variety of shapes and glued them onto the card stock snakes in order to create and "impression" of our design.
Afterwards, we wrapped our snaked in foil allowing the styrofoam impressions to show through so we could add color to the design.
Our final project was colorful and full of mixed media and a variety of shapes! I wish snakes really looked this friendly! Great work artists!
