ART CLASS 2-9-12

To begin today's Art class, Mr. Cicetti read the story, The Snowy Day, by Ezra Jack Keats.  He then demonstrated 2 different activities to create a snowman--painting or print-making.

Some children chose to paint a snowman.

 

 Many children chose to do a snowman using a print-making technique...

To begin, a child uses a pencil to etch a snowman print into a piece of styrofoam.

Next, the child rolls paint on to the styrofoam.

A piece of white paper is then placed over the painted styrofoam.

 The child then applies pressure to the white paper to imprint the drawing from the styrofoam on to the paper.

 Peel the paper away from the styrofoam and.....

 VOILA!
