I saw THIS photo and art lesson. I HAD to try it.
The results are GREAT and the idea is so simple.
Supplies:
mirror
washable markers
paper
Permanent markers
Colored Pencil
Instructions:
1.) Draw yourself using one line without picking up your marker by tracing your image in the mirror.
2.) Wet your paper- wipe paper with a wet paper towel
3.) Press paper onto image and lift
4.) Use permanent markers and colored pencils to color in
Tips:
* This lesson can be related to the artist Egon Schiele
*Crayola and Mr. Sketch scented markers work
* Thin-tipped markers work best
* Your type of paper makes a huge difference, try it yourself first. Watercolor worked for me.
*12x12 mirror tiles from home improvement store work well
*Spraying the image with water lightly will work but makes a few drips
I purchased 6 mirrors for $10 at Home Depo.
ReplyDeleteMy two year old could not trace her image but loved drawing on the mirror and lifting off the image.
Practice lifting the image a few times before instructing students on how to do it!
