This project was all about playing with media and experimenting with different techniques.
Here's the list:
Watercolor and salt
Watercolor and rubbing alcohol
Crumpled paper with watercolor
Watercolor painted old book pages
Acrylic scraped paint
Sharpie colored transparencies
Bubble wrap prints
Oil pastel and watercolor concentric hearts with puff paint
Oil pastel blended with baby oil
Chalk pastel on black paper
Recycled painted paper and magazine pages
Phew! I think that covers it. After all hearts were created, dry and cut out, the kids could play around with which combination and layout looked most pleasing to them. And then - commence the gluing. Needless to say this was loads of fun for my whole group of Unique Art Materials students.
