Gessoed Image

Simple Fun.
I often forget how much it excites kids to paint an image of their choice. Especially painting an image of a person they took.

I saw THIS site and it made me realize students would love to gesso over an image and paint it. We have all the materials on hand.

Supplies:

board of some kind

printed image (magazine or printed)

clear gesso

acrylic paints

brushes

oil pastels

permanent markers

other supplies

Mod-podge or spray fixative


Instructions:

    1. Glue image to the board

    2. Paint over with clear gesso (let dry, you could do this step ahead of time for the child)

    3. Color with markers and paints.

    4. Dry then seal

    Tips:

    * Fun if you take a silly image of each child the first day and print it off
