Reuse Cardboard : Mobile, SeaShells

This is a great summer artproject ! reUse!  REpost !!
...

This summer project, cardboard mobile "shells" was hanged on the outside swing.

First they created the cardboard collage; on a pre cut recycled cardboard they glued squared shape precut cardcoard. After covering one side of the cardboard they turned the cardboard over and glued shapes on the reverse side. This step was repeated at least twice, and then put aside to dry.

 

 

 

The second object on the mobile is made from wavy cardboard. The shape was stapled to create a 3 dimension shape looking like a shell. The wavy side (outer side) is painted with gauche. For the inner side, I added glue to the paint and with a spoon color sand was poured on the object.

Fish , Mix Media with Paper Plate

This was done in 2 session using paper plates. 

The first part was a COLOR BLUE collage, using torn blue paper, tissue paper, yarn etc...

The secend session: the Gold fish, embossed aluminum sheet that was precut in the shape of the fish, then designing the frame with paint and color sand.

We stapled the 2 plates together and  stringed the fish in the frame.

Collage, Color Sand, Beach

 Beautiful  sandy beach

• The background is pastel drawing done with a precut stancil  shaped as a shell.
• Sand color mixed drawing on background. They choose the color sand to mix with watered glue and dripped it gently on the background letting in move around the board.
• Pre painter magazine paper as a college as the sea.

Window Color Artproject, mix media

We made this window art on a trasparence sheet; using plasticine to out line the drawing and torn color crepe paper and color sand to fill in the drawing.

Above both sides of the trasparence sheet.

They choose between a fish or a parrot.

One group did the torn paper inside the drawing and sprinkeled color sand all around the animal.

My second group started with the backround, using torn color paper to do the background and the inside was done with color sand.

I hope to display on the windows, and will post in the blog.

Complementary Colors - SUN

To complete the color wheel we did the Sun, using the complementary colors yellow and purple.

Step 1: rip purple color strips of paper and glue around the cardboard to pruduce a frame.
Step 2: with prerolled magazine and masking tape they created the sun rays.
Step 3: paint yellow on the sun rays and background.
Step 4: while the artwork is drying, they created the purple shell that you see on the sun. I precut shell and they glued color sand.

Embossed Aluminium Goblet

Aluminium art is wonderful, this time we conbined it with colored sand.
Photos were taken while the glue is still wet.
Step 1: Paint the board black to make a dramatic background, put to dry.
Step 2: Work on precut aluminum foil sheet shaped as goblet.I gave out ruler and soft not too sharp pencial to make vertical lines across the goblet as you can see on the first artwork.
Then they drew shapes in between the lines, they turned the aluminum sheet over and using the pencial they filled in the shape to make the embossed design.


Step 3: On the dry black painted board they brushed a heavy layer of glue.
In the middle the pressed the goblet and around it they poured color sand with a spoon. With a sharp stick or with the pencial they scratch a design in the color sand.

Lizard, Paper Mache

3D paper mache lizard.

This art poject was done in 2 sessions.

Session #1:

Creation a clay lizard on a the illustration of a lizard.

Paper Mache on the clay lizard; 5 or 6 layers of strips of paper from an old telephone pages.

First layer was done with paper strips using water mix only so when dry will separate from clay easily. Glue was added to the water mix after the first layer. 4 layer of stripes of paper were layered on top op the lizard.

Top layer we used white paper.
Paper mache lizard was put to dry till next session.

Session#2:

Color the lizard with color gouche and let dry.

While the lizard drys the members created a background for the lizard using color sand and glue.

The next step was on the lizard, looking at the photos of the lizard they draw texture with a black marker.

At this point with my help, we cut the lizard around the form and carefuly took out the dry clay that formed the lizard.

With glue they placed the paper mache lizard on the sand background.
