Art With Mrs. Smith is where I got the inspiration from. My kids just adored this project and I hope to make it a "regular" holiday project in coming years!
I used 12x18 black paper and gave the kids each a sheet of 12x18 newsprint. They drew the LARGEST oval they could on their newsprint and cut it out. This was used as the masking area as the students drew the "rays" and smudged them radiating from the snowglobe.
I forgot to mention we used white oil pastel. My first group I used white chalk and we had fingerprints. Everywhere. Yuck. The kids drew simple evergreens in the globe and topped the whole baby off with some glue dots for glitter. This was the "snow" in their globe. Glitter does make the world go 'round, ya know...
...well, not my world. Probably my custodian's world, but not mine. I digress.
They're lovely, and the kids love them. Glitter and all!
Looks like fun...maybe you got the idea from this blog? http://artwithmrssmith.blogspot.com/2009/06/snowy-trees-art-project-materials.html
ReplyDeleteI just came across it yesterday.
ReplyDeleteWhile "Flush" means level with the surface, there are different profiles that can be achieved depending on the bit or machine setting used after the initial flush cut:
Square Edge: The band is cut exactly at a 90-degree angle to the surface.
Bevel Trimming: The edge is cut at an angle (usually 15° or 45°) to create a slanted look, often used for edge banding cabinetry handles.
Radius (Round-over) Trimming: The most common finish for PVC/ABS banding, where the edge is slightly rounded (e.g., a 2mm radius) to prevent sharp corners and increase impact resistance.
