It's been a month or two of one craft fail after another, mateys. Here's a success story for you:!
Compile:
-paint (we used acrylic paints)
-piece of white paper + background paper, if desired
-(glue)
-forks of different sizes
-sponge paintbrush for painting the acrylic paint onto the forks
-wipes!
For this lesson we learned about 'perspective'. The original instructions specified plastic forks with three prongs. I used metal and plastic forks of various sizes to teach the 'perspective' concept. (And as you can plainly see not all of the forks had three prongs.)
Notice how the colors mixed and created pretty variegated petals with her painting! Much as one would see in Nature itself/herself!
