Painted Horses
|
The original idea for this project came from Ann Wood's Cardboard Stampede. I've adapted her wonderful idea for younger artists. She has 3 patterns available for free on her original post.
Materials: * horse template * acrylic paint * sponges * bubble wrap (optional) * brass fasteners * buttons (optional) * scissors Instructions: * copy the horse template onto cardstock * for students, instead of cutting pieces out first and then painting them I have them practice painting techniques on the back of the paper, we use sponges to paint then I'll show them how to paint bubble wrap and stamp it onto the paper for an interesting effect * let the paint dry * now students can turn the page over and cut out their pieces * I use brass fasteners to attach the legs, you can hot glue a button on top of the fastener to get a look closer to Ann Wood's creations | ||
