5th Graders have been working on animal carvings inspired by artwork found in Oaxaca, Mexico. Students first draw their animal on paper - they choose a realistic animal that has unrealistic patterns Once done with paper, they get a piece of metal foil (it's thicker than aluminum foil, around 36 gauge) They lay the metal underneath the paper drawing and use a pencil to redraw everything. By redrawing everything, students create an indent in the metal - This is also called Embossing. They colored the flipped side of the metal (the side that has the raised patterns) with sharpies using unrealistic colors. |
