Title of Lesson:
Shaving Cream Christmas Ornaments (For Winter Extravaganza)
Medium: Paint, Shaving Cream, Paper
Reason for Lesson:
Creating art for the Winter Extravaganza, and learning about how different
mediums work…the shaving cream carries the paint to the paper, but doesn’t soak
into the paper so it can be scraped away, leaving only the paint behind!
Prep Time:
Materials will be in the 2nd grade box. The docent will do step 1-3
in a few cardboard boxes and then the students will bring their cut-out
ornament to dip in the shaving cream.
Preparation prior to
lesson: gathering supplies, printing ornament on paper for students to cut
out.
Class Time: 30
minutes
Materials: Shaving
cream (it must be white), Acrylic paint in several colors, Toothpicks, Old
loyalty card (or something else you can use as a scraper), White cardstock shaped
ornaments, Brown cardboard box (to put the shaving cream in)
Step by Step
Instructions:
1. Start by squirting your shaving cream into your
brown cardboard box. Raileigh had fun playing in it for a bit before we moved
onto the next steps.
1.
Now, take your acrylic paint and squirt lines of
it on top of the shaving cream. We chose to go with a rainbow of colors.
However, you can do only warm or cool colors, or even colors to fit with a
certain holiday.
Take your toothpick and swirl the paint around a bit. It's going to begin to look slightly marbled. You can "marble" it as little or as much as you'd like
It is time for the fun to begin! Take a piece of your cardstock and gently press it into the shaving cream and paint. Make sure to press all of the sides down
2.
Take your "scraper" and scrape away
the shaving cream. The paint stays behind, leaving a lovely marbled painted
look on your paper.
3.
Repeat several times. Your shaving cream and
paint will eventually get kind of muddled. However, we were able to do this
10-12 times easily before that began to happen.
