Mother's Day art project

  " A Very Special Momemt in My Life" paper art,  was done for a class assignment about 10 years ago. The PhotoShop finish photo is of us, my first child (daughter Liron), my wonderful  mother,  holding her first grand child and me as we got home from the hospital. 
 Today, this being the first year my mother is not with us, I took it off the top shelf (where it sits, for I have no heart to throw it away) and felt the need to share.

This is a paper cover ballon combined with a empty shoe box,

On the outside color red tissue paper and inside  silver wallpaper.

My autism adult group followed those instructions:

Using a full sheet of semi transparent sandwich paper they made a collage, glueing peices of wool and color tissue paper on the paper.

Adding a top layer of glue, then folding the paper in half . 

At this stage they wapped the glass bowl with 2 layers of paper.
Then placed the  glass bowl on top of a plastic cup in a upside down position.
Placed the folded sheet ontop of the bowl and press it to form the shape as you can see on the left photo.
The paper bowls were left to dry;
When dry I plan to post a group photo of the lights.

Trip to Eilat insired by Paul Klee

 Last week I saw a wonderful post about portrait inspired by Paul Klee using tissue paper (sorry I can't find the blog to acknowlege and post link). Great art idea and I do love Paul Klee.
Our group went to the beach vacation last week so I decided to use that as a suject.
After showing some of Paul Klee work, some of his line drawing on a very colorful grid  background I gave out a precut cardboard fish or palm tree and black pastel to drew the detail texture of subject.
Next they glued cut color tissue paper.

While the object dryed I gave cardboard stancil to make the wave lines fot the grid.

 The city of Eilat is desert so they use a range of oil pastels in those colors to make the grid.
They colored some of the grid with the desert color pastel, and the rest was painted with a water base BLUE paint as the sea.

 Object was glued on the grid background.

I just found this interesting post connecting to this painting by Paul Klee in  Douglas Florian blog.

Holiday Mobil

Another artproject for the holiday, 2 object mobil using tissue paper, torn white paper , pastels and a disposible degradable plate. 

Below is the combine photo of the mobile, front and back veiw of the same artproject.

After making snake shape pieces from tissue paper they choose either to design a pomegrant or a fish; after glueing the drawing to cardboard they glues the snake shape on photo copy line drawing.

While it dryed they tore white paper making small peices as feathers to cover the prcut recycle cardboard dove, glued the torn paper and added greetings.

The first object was cut and the reverse side was designed with color pastels.

To frame the object we used disposible degradeble plate that I precut the middle, we stapled the object to the plate.

The plate frame makes it easy to put together with a ribbon.
