Art Works! Series – Activity #22: Wax Resists

We encourage parents to join in on the activities, too, and create their own Art Works!

WaxResist Art Works! Activity #22: Wax Resists

A wax resist painting is one where you use wax to protect parts of the paper from paint. When you apply a water-based paint over the wax, the wax repells the paint and creates an interesting texture to your painting.

This activity is fun for kids of all ages and gives them an opportunity to work with resists. Spark your imagination, and get started!

The example below uses the color green – just in time for St. Patrick’s Day!

What You Need:

Green Construction Paper (or your choice of color)

Green Crayons or Oil Pastels (crayon should be the same color as your paper)

White Tempera Paint

Paintbrush (a larger brush works better than a small, thin brush)

Water in Small Cup (used to help thin the paint)

Art Tray or covered work space

What You Do:

Use a green crayon to draw a picture onto the green construction paper – make sure to press hard and create a thick line. You might want to draw a large shamrock to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! (HINT: It may be hard to see your green crayon marks on the green paper, but if you tilt your paper slightly toward the light, you will be able to see the wax shining in the light.)

When your picture is drawn, paint a thin coat of white tempera paint over the paper. (Make sure the paint is not too thick.)

The white paint adheres to the construction paper, but doesn’t cover the green lines – making your drawing instantly appear!

Sign and date your work of art, then display it for others to see.

Variations:

Use this same technique with a variety of different colored paper and crayons! For example, use red construction paper and red crayons to make Valentine hearts! Use blue construction paper and blue crayons to make bluebirds in the Spring!

Use a variety of different sizes and shapes of construction paper to draw on. When you’ve painted all your designs, use string to hang your pictures in your windows or around the room. You might even want to create a mobile using your designs.

Use this technique to create your own greeting cards! Simply fold your paper in half and create your wax resist painting on the top of the card and write your greeting on the inside. A fast and easy way to create a unique card!

Use a white Art Board and a white crayon to create your drawing. For example, draw a landscape, your favorite toy, or simply draw swirls and squiggles. When your drawing is done, use a variety of different colors of watercolor paint to make your painting colorful. Of course, the white crayon marks will remain white, but the rest of your art board will be very colorful!

Use white paper and a variety of different colored crayons or oil pastels to make your drawing. When you apply paint over your drawing, the colors from your drawing will resist the paint the same way, but you will also see the colors of the crayons.

Write a secret message to your kids on the paper, then have them paint over it to reveal their special message. What a fun way to say “I love you”!

This wax resist method works great on Easter eggs, too! Simply use a crayon to color a design on your egg before dying.

Tip:

Since construction paper is porous, we have found that a thicker, higher quality construction paper works better than the very thin varieties.

Create your own “theater in a box” and then put on a show!

This activity energizes imaginations and creative thinking, and allows kids to play with magnets, too!

What You Need:

Blank Game Box or similar box

Magnet Kit, Magnet Set, or other strong magnets

Steel Washers (must be attracted to a magnet)

Place various sea creatures on the underwater world backdrop while placing a magnet on the backside of the box lid to hold the creature in place. Slide the magnets on the backside of the box to bring your creatures to life and to tell your story!

Art Works! Series – Activity #20: Glue Painting

We encourage parents to join in on the activities too, and create their own Art Works!

GluePainting Art Works! Activity #20: Glue Painting

This activity is fun for children of all ages. Your children will produce a raised “3D” work of art, as they experience a variety of art supplies.

What You Need:

White Glue with a Nozzle Top

Cardboard or Art Board

Pencil

Paint

Paint Brush

Scissors (optional)

What You Do:

Use a pencil and draw a simple picture onto the art board.

When your drawing is done, place the nozzle of the glue on the drawing where you would like to start applying the glue. Squeeze the glue bottle gently and apply a raised line of glue over the lines of your drawing. NOTE: We recommend you practice applying glue on a piece of scrap paper first. This allows you to determine the right amount of pressure to use when squeezing the glue bottle.

When you get to the end of a line, lift the glue bottle up quickly to avoid drips.

Continue applying glue until all the pencil lines on your drawing are covered with a glue line.

If desired, add embellishments around your drawing with the glue. For example, add dots, wavy lines, or swirls. Be creative!

Allow the glue to dry completely – overnight is best.

When the glue is completely dry, paint over the entire piece of art board with your favorite color paint. Watercolor paint or acrylic paint works very well.

For an aged look, use a small amount of black paint on a cotton ball and rub the black over the drawing, removing any excess black paint.

Make sure to sign and date the back of your artwork!

Variations:

If you would like to apply a thicker glue line, use a scissors and snip a small part of the nozzle off to create a larger opening.

Depending on your drawing, you could use a scissors to cut out certain parts of the drawing into a variety of shapes – ovals, squares, diamonds, or triangles. This makes interesting pieces of art!

Use gold paint over your glue drawing, then apply black paint as mentioned above for an antique look.

Art Works! Series – Activity #19: Crayon Hearts

We encourage parents to join in on the activities, too, and create their own Art Works!

CrayonSuncatchers3 Art Works! Activity #19: Crayon Hearts

Create works of art using crayons and a bit of imagination! This is a classic art project, and one that will decorate your sunny windows!

This hands-on activity is fun for kids of all ages (even small children) and is a great way to recycle all those old crayon pieces you have around the house.

What You Need:

Waxed Paper

Wax Crayons (especially those small broken pieces we all have)

Handheld Pencil Sharpener (some crayon boxes have one built into the box that can easily be removed)

Paper Grocery Bag, cut into two panels

Iron

Scissors

Ribbon or Monofilament Fishing Line

Art Tray or Cookie Sheet

What You Do:

Place a sheet of waxed paper into an art tray or cookie sheet (the tray makes clean-up easier). We recommend using a 12″ x 16″ sheet of waxed paper, but other sizes will work as well. Fold the waxed paper in half and crease along the fold, then unfold the paper.

Have your child use a handheld pencil sharpener to create crayon shavings over half of the waxed paper. Kids love this hands-on exerience!

Continue creating crayon shavings in a variety of colors over half of the waxed paper until the shavings are evenly distributed. You don’t want the shavings to be too thick – just thick enough so they cover the paper.

Fold the clean half of the waxed paper over the crayon shavings. You may also want to fold up the three open edges of the waxed paper slightly to help contain the shavings (this also helps contain the melted crayons).

Carefully place the waxed paper onto a paper grocery bag, then cover the waxed paper with another piece of the paper grocery bag. The paper bag will help protect your ironing surface and your iron.

To melt the crayon shavings, set an iron to low heat and have an adult iron the paper bag in even passes. Periodically check the crayon shavings to see if they are melted.

When all the crayon shavings are melted, remove the top grocery bag and allow the crayons to cool.

Use a pencil or marker to trace the shape of a heart onto the waxed paper. Draw a variety of different heart sizes, and try to use as much of the waxed paper as possible.

Use a scissors to cut the heart shapes out, then hang the hearts in a window. If you are hanging more than one heart in your window, layer them on different length ribbons for an even more impressive effect.

Variations:

Use any shapes you want to create your crayon suncatchers! You could even cut out letters to spell your child’s name. Encourage children to be creative when they cut their shapes.

We found a very small cheese grater at a local kitchen store and we use this to create crayon shavings. The grater works much faster than a pencil sharpener. If you use a small cheese grater, make sure to show your child how to hold the crayon to avoid cutting their fingers on the grater.

When the crayon pieces are too small to easily sharpen, save these small bits to make custom crayons! Just place these pieces into a mini heart-shaped muffin pan and melt them in your oven on low heat. As soon as the crayons are melted, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Trim away any excess pieces to make a smooth new multi-colored crayon! Slip these new shaped crayons into a Glassine Bag, tie with a ribbon, and you have a small gift to give!

Art Works! Series – Activity #18: Simple Silhouettes

We encourage parents to join in on the activities, too, and create their own Art Works!

SilhouetteArtWorks2 Art Works! Activity #18: Simple Silhouettes

Celebrate Groundhog’s Day and play with shadows! This art activity is easy to do and makes a delightful gift.

What You Need:

Digital Camera

Cardstock or Art Board

Scissors

Laser or Inkjet Printer

Glue Stick

What You Do:

Have your child stand sideways in front of a light colored wall.

Position your child’s head so that you see his or her profile against the wall, then take a digital picture. Experiment with different angles to get the best profile.

Upload your pictures to your computer and size the profile picture to whatever size you would like for the silhouette.

Print the picture on regular printer paper.

Use a scissors to cut out the profile. Make sure to include the small pieces of hair or eyelashes that may be part of your picture.

Use a glue stick to adhere the cutout picture to a piece of cardstock paper – make sure to glue to printed side to the cardstock.

Once the profile picture is glued to the cardstock, use a scissors to once again cut out the picture. This transfers the silhouette to a heavier paper.

Place the cutout profile onto a piece of black cardstock, and your silhouette is done and ready to be framed!

Variations:

Why stop at just your child’s head? Experiment with a variety of poses, including your child’s entire body. You can always resize the picture to fit on a regular sheet of printer paper. Be creative!

Have your children create profiles of their stuffed animals using this technique. A great way for young children to practice using a scissors.

Use your photo editing software to remove the background of a picture, then fill the profile part of the picture with a black fill. When you print this picture, just cut around the profile and adhere to a white cardstock for an inverted silhouette.

Art Works! Series – Activity #16: Snowflakes

We encourage parents to join in on the activities, too, and create their own Art Works!

Art Works! Activity #16: Snowflakes

We took two weeks off from our Art Works! series, but we’re making it up with several fun snowflake activities. Create works of art that celebrate the season!

These hands-on activities inspire creativity, and are easy for children of all ages to do.

Snowflake Window Clings

What You Need:

Pencil

White Paper

Large Glass Baking Dish

Glitter Glue (see below to make your own)

What You Do:

Create a snowflake template by drawing a simple snowflake onto a sheet of paper.

Place the snowflake template beneath a large clear glass baking dish.

Use glitter glue to trace over your pencil lines, applying the glue directly to the glass dish. You’ll want to make sure the glue is applied in fairly thick lines to ensure the snowflake won’t fall apart when it is dry. Remember that as the glue dries, it will shrink. We recommend making your lines at least 1/8″ thick.

Repeat the above steps to create as many snowflakes as you’d like. Vary the size of the snowflakes, and use different colored glitter glue if desired.

Allow your snowflakes to dry thoroughly before removing from the glass. We recommend you let the snowflakes dry for at least 12 hours (24 hours is even better).

When the snowflakes appear dry, carefully peel them from the glass dish. If the bottom of the snowflakes are still wet, simply lay the snowflakes back down until they are completely dry.

Press your completed snowflakes onto window glass for a wintery decoration.

Variations:

If you prefer, hang your snowflakes in a window with a length of fishing line.

If you would like to make your own glitter glue, pour white glue into a squeeze bottle container then add several teaspoons of fine glitter to the glue. Use a craft stick to mix the glitter into the glue. Add more glitter if needed. Place the top back on the squeeze bottle and your glitter glue is ready to use.

If you do not have glitter or glitter glue, regular white glue works well and makes nice white snowflakes.

Paper Snowflakes

What You Need:

Paper (thin copy machine paper works very well)

Sharp Scissors (blunt scissors that are sharp work well for young children)

Paper Folding Instructions

What You Do:

Fold a sheet of paper to create a snowflake preform. See our paper folding instructions for more information.

Use a sharp scissors (pointed or blunt) to cut out various shapes from the folded paper. Be creative!

Unfold your paper to reveal a unique snowflake!

Tape snowflakes to your windows for wintery fun decorations.

Variations:

Use new coffee filters instead of paper to make your snowflakes. When the snowflakes are cut out, decorate the edges of the snowflakes with water-based markers. Use a Pipette filled with water and drop a few drops of water onto the marker drawings. The water will cause the marker to bleed and create interesting patterns.

For very detailed snowflakes, cut small shapes close together. Make sure to cut shapes from both sides of the folded paper – this creates a very interesting completed snowflake.

Experiment with different kinds of paper and different colored paper.

Brush a thin layer of glue over your completed snowflake and sprinkle glitter to create a shimmery showflake.

At the end of the season, carefully store your snowflakes in a zip-top storage bag for next year. Each year, add more snowflakes to your collection. Make this activity a fun family tradition!

Cinnamon Snowflakes (that you can eat)!

What You Need:

8 or 10 inch Flour Tortillas

Sugar

Cinnamon

Butter

Scissors

Cookie Sheet

What You Do:

Place a flour tortilla in the microwave for several seconds to soften it, then remove from microwave.

Fold the tortilla in half, then fold in half again. You will end up with a triangle-shaped tortilla.

Use a clean scissor to cut small shapes into the tortilla – much like you would do when cutting paper snowflakes.

Unfold your tortilla and place on a cookie sheet.

Mix equal parts sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Brush a little softened butter onto the tortilla snowflake, the sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture over the butter.

Put the tortilla snowflakes in a 350 degree oven until they are golden brown (about 3-5 minutes).

Remove completed snowflakes from oven and eat!

Variations:

If you prefer, sprinkle powdered sugar or edible glitter on the tortilla’s instead of sugar and cinnamon.

Art Works! Series – Activity #15: Finger Painting Fun

We encourage parents to join in on the activities, too, and create their own Art Works!

Art Works! Activity #15: Finger Painting Fun

Kids of all ages just love to touch and feel their artwork – and this activity is hands-on fun!

Make sure to see our additional ideas for this product below.

What You Need:

Finger Paints (click our Finger Paint Recipe to make your own, easy paint)

White Paper or Art Board

Art Tray or Cookie Sheet

What You Do:

Place several colors of homemade finger paint (see recipe link above) or purchased finger paint into small bowls (recycled margarine tubs or plastic ice cube trays work great).

Place a sheet of paper or art board on an art tray or on a cookie sheet (the tray or cookie sheet helps contain the paint).

Let your children scoop out small amounts of paint onto the paper, and begin painting. Encourage your children to cover the entire paper while they create their works of art.

When your child is finished with one painting, place it on an old newspaper to dry, and give them another sheet of fresh paper! Let your child create as many paintings as they would like.

When the paintings are dry, have your child sign and date their artwork. This gives your children a sense of ownership and pride in their work.

Hang the finished paintings on a bulletin board or on your refrigerator for the entire family to enjoy!

Variations:

Use the finished paintings to create greeting cards or postcards to share with friends and family.

Play music softly in the background as your child works. We highly recommend The Mozart Effect, Music for Children!

While your child is painting, encourage them to talk about what they are feeling and thinking as they work. This can be a very relaxing time for children, and a great way to get to know them even better than you already do!

For something really fun, let your kids use their toes to paint! The ooey-gooey feeling on their toes is just too fun to miss! Make sure to have your camera ready!

Create a background with the finger paints and allow to dry. When the painting is completely dry, use a black permanent marker to draw pictures on top of the painted background. Be creative!

Make a unique puzzle out of the finished paintings! Simply cut the painting into a variety of shapes. Mix up the pieces, then put them back together. This activity works best when the painting is created on an art board.

Preserve your child’s paintings by taking digital photos! Set your camera for macro photographs and snap away. Digital pictures are easy to store and are fun to look back on when your kids are older. Make sure to take pictures of your children creating their artwork, too!

We encourage parents to join in on the activities, too, and create their own Art Works!

A 10-year old with a sense of humor!

Art Works! Activity #14: Alter Ego Art

Have you been naughty or nice this year? Here’s your chance to show your alter ego!

This activity sparks imaginations, stimulates creative thinking, and enhances spatial thinking skills… and it’s fun to see what your kids will come up with as their alter ego!

What You Need:

A close-up photo of your face. Both sides of your face should be visible in the picture. Although any size picture will work, we recommend a photo that is at least 5″ x 7″. (See Variations below for more ideas)

Ruler

Scissors

White Paper or Art Board

Glue Stick

Pencil

Colored Pencils or Markers

What You Do:

Use a ruler to draw a vertical line down the center of the face in the photograph.

Cut along the vertical line to create two halves of the photo.

Use a glue stick to glue one half of the photo to a piece of paper or art board. Make sure to glue the photo in a way that leaves plenty of drawing room for the other half of the face.

Use a pencil to draw the missing half of the face. Use your imagination! Will you draw a space alien face? A princess? A monster? Be creative!

When your drawing is finished, use colored pencils or markers to add color to your photo. What fun!

Variations:

If you have a digital camera and a color printer, take a close-up photo of your child’s face. Use a digital photo editing program to crop the photo so only half the face is showing. Enlarge the photo so that it fills an 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheet of paper. Print the half-photo on a color printer. Give the completed printout to your child and let them draw and design the other half of their face.

This activity is fun with photos from magazines, as well!
