Marbling with the little ones!
Here in Cortona we Art Ed students get to het their hands dirty in art marking with the local elementary school here in Cortona.
We had a great semester this year tackling an ambitious project.. however thats the next post.
I created this marbling lesson plan consisting of 1 hour time (and very little lanugage.. non parlo italiano molto been).
Basically, I wanted to allow the kids to continue their abstract drawing and painting, but it the most way fun --- shaving cream. enough said.
What youll need is a tin container (fit to paper size), some acrylic paint, an assortment of pain containers - recycled plastic yogurt cups are great!. What else... some stirrers (in this case popsicle sticks which were also used for application, paper, and of course the most foamy of foamy shaving cream.
The kids broke up into groups where our marbling stations were. Its an easy process. The kids only need a clean, flat shaving cream surface to create masterpieces and paints at their disposal.
All that is left is for the paper to be lightly pressed into the swirly, foamy masterpiece, carefully peeled, and wiped clean. Waa-la!
