Tissue Paper Art: Valentines Hearts · Craftwhack

We made tissue paper art for the get-go time, and boy, was it cool! Information technology takes some experimenting to become a feel for information technology, but that's the best part of fine art-making with kids, right?

The finished pieces came out way different than the project I planned. It's ever interesting when you lot plan a project earlier yous know the nature of a medium, because you actually tin can't tell how that medium will work until y'all dig in.

I beloved this role of fine art-making, considering it's a pretty skilful metaphor for life….

Materials:

• Art tissue paper (the haemorrhage kind)
• White card stock or watercolor paper
• White and/or colored oil pastels (or crayons)

Directions:

Depict on the paper with your oil pastel- we decided on hearts because yes, we are already all about Valentines Day effectually here…

We did some smaller hearts, some larger hearts, some with white oil pastel and some with colored oil pastels. We played around to see if we liked the open up hearts or filled-in hearts more. They both give different effects after the art tissue is applied.

Now for the magic! Cutting your tissue into squares. Take a paintbrush or foam castor dipped in water and brush the unabridged surface of the paper to requite it a skilful blanket of h2o.

Lay the tissue squares out on your newspaper over the heart(s). Give the tops of the squares another good coating of water and let them sit for a lilliputian while. We didn't completely soak the paper with water, but make certain there's enough on in that location to bring the colour out of the tissue.

Have a little patience here, kids. Y'all'll want to peek nether the tissue right away, but if they sit for a little while, more than color will leech out onto the paper.

i….2…..3….. become! Skin the newspaper up and behold your creations!
