Painted Paper Owls This project used many fun painting techniques. The students enjoyed painting the paper. It did get a bit hectic. Students were at different steps in the project at times. In the end it turned out WONDERFUL! I became inspired by seeing a drawing I pinned on Pinterest. It came from a neat website. I am very taken by owls this school year. A bit obsessed I must say. The painted paper techniques included the background - rubbing alcohol and watercolors owls - marbling, markers with water sprayed on them to bleed, Epsom salt and watercolors, tissue paper and a spray bottle to bleed, and sponging. The tree limb was crayon and watercolors for a crayon resist. |
The junior high classes had such a great time weaving. The students loved the fact that the pillows were actually usable. I have never done a weaving project like this before. |
Students first started out with a cardboard and yarn. Students wrapped the yarn around the cardboard to create their loom. The rest was weaving...over under over under. |
