Hold your glue bottle like a pen and make sure you have go lines to leave behind
Step4: place it to dry

WEEK TWO:

Step1: decide what color you want to paint your artwork
Step2: using a brush paint over the glue
Step3: leave a half an inch around your paper white
Step4: let it dry for a few minutes
Step5: finish anything left undone (shrinky dinks, sculpture)
Step6: using thick black or shoe polish paint, rub over the glue with a cotton ball
Step7: this will give it an antique look

tage board

Cotton balls

This project is perfect for the end of the year because 1: you can recap all the artist's you have studied and prepare your students for the art show. 2: there are so many little things to finish at the end of the year. None of these little projects will fill an hour but three little things keep everyone happy making art.
