Kids’ Rub Art 1: Fish
Welcome to a new week here on DDoA! This week I bring you some simple ways for kids to make impressions on paper.
I will show you how you can use some ‘trashable’, ‘recyclable’ or whatever sort of textured plastic you have lying around the house to make beautiful art templates that will bring many hours of art fun at home or in school.
MATERIALS:
- any textured plastic
- scissors
- glue gun
- fish shape cut from foam board or wood
Let’s begin…
Step 1- Scout your house for plastic containers, mats, cups with interesting texture
Step 2- Cut your own fish template from foam board or use store-bought fish shape.
Step 3- Cut your textured pieces and adhere to different areas of the fish using a glue gun.
Note: If your plastic is thin, make sure you give the glue time to cool a little before adhering plastic piece to prevent plastic from melting.
There you go- you just made a beautiful textured plastic fish template. Now you can start rubbing some art onto paper.
You’ll need:
-thin paper (like bond paper)
-crayons (i used TRIGO brand)
-clipboard
-masking tape
Steps:
Step 1- Tape the template onto a clipboard to secure it.
Step 2- Use bond paper, marker paper, or whatever you have at home that’s thin, but not too thin that it tears with the touch of crayons.
Step 3 – COLOR!!! Below are the crayon colors I used:
Top fish: yellow, orange, light blue, purple
Bottom fish: pink, light blue, purple
Step 4- Insert corrugated foam sheet under bond paper and make wavelike impressions between and around the two fish.
