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.
 

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.
