Holiday Photo Frame

Another aluminum photo frame,

aluminum always looks special.

I think this photo frame is easier to make.

The student choose a photo and marked a rectangle on the board.

Then, glued precut cardboard pieces around the marked rectangle.

The next step glue aluminum foil.

Paint guache on everything, let dry.

Rub of some paint of the foil and then place photo in the frame. 

Snail, Winter Collage,

After the rain the snails come out and we had a big rainstorm last week.

• For the background a collage with self torn tissue paper and trasparent paper  mixed with precut aluminium paper . Winter colors on black and .
• While the collage dryed they designed there snail on trasparence sheet; using plasticine on the line drawing.
• Then glued the trabsparent slide on the winter background and add a layer of glue on the plasticine.

Both stages of the project are very productive, and no matter what level they look good.

This technic was used in blue and white artproject,

Aluminum Mosaic Frame

Before the summer break we made this mosaic frame.

• The mosaic are precut cardboard wrapped in aluminum kitchen foil.

Step 1: they painted the board and, while it dryed, they made the aluminum mosiaic pieces.
Step 2: glue a rectangle the size of a photo in the middle and make a frame around it with the mosaic pieces.
Step 3: Using a not sharp pencil to emboss a pattern on each piece.
Step 4: Using a sponge  to smear  paint gently on each peice so that the paint gets in the emboss pattern.

They choose a photo to place in the frame.
 

Wax Paper and Aluminum Foil Collage

When the rain started we make this " Street Scene".
Step 1: making gray sky, using torn wax paper on black cardboard,

mult-layering can create clouds.
Step 2: drawing the street scene, on pre-cut skyline cardboard.
They choose either a Car or a Street Cat to draw using a cardboard stancil, colored with pastals.
Step 3: paste together the gray sky underneath skyline drawings.
Step 4: paste the art work on a larger cardboard, add collage torn aluminum foil around as a frame. Using aluminum foil addes the element of the reflectons we see in the puddles during the rainy days.
