SPECIAL EFFECTS WITH GLUE
Grades: K - 6
Age: 4 - 10
This excellent drawing and painting lesson comes to you from Carolina Freitas, an elementary school teacher at Deutsche Schule Porto in Portugal.
Objectives:
Students will learn line-drawing techniques.
What You Need:
- glue
- white drawing paper
- tempera paint
- brush / sponge
What You Do:
- The students take the tube of glue and use the glue to draw something easy to outline (a flower, a mountain, a candle, a tree).
- Let it dry.
- After the glue has dried, color the paper with the paint. It works best with one color only. Let it dry for some time.
- Dip the whole paper in water, so that the paint dilutes and gathers different lighter shades. Hang to dry.
- While the students are waiting for the first paper to dry, have them cover a second sheet of white paper with paint. Let it be a dark color. Let it dry.
- When this paper is dry, draw something else on it (same technique as above).
- When the glue has dried, "wash" this paper too, and compare the results.
