7th Grade Torn Paper Project Completion

The majority of the Tuesday classes of 7th grade Art just finished up their torn paper projects based on Mexican folk art, including Amate paintings.  

Process:

1. Design drawn on paper.
2.  Metallic papers torn and glued to design.
3.  Black paint painted over entire artwork and dried.
4.  Wet sponges and paper towels used to blot off the black paint.  
Voila!!!  

The best part was seeing the students who didn't think their torn paper projects look that great but then after painting them and washing off the paint, seeing their shock when they came out looking stunning!!!  

The majority of Thursday's 7th grade art classes will finish up this week as well!
