Andrew's Art Class - Week 4

Let's Get Started!

Having Fun with the Shaving Cream

Waiting For the Next Step...

Ta Da....

Marbleizing - Close-Up

This week's class was a super fun one for Andrew. It involved 2 things - shaving cream and paint...any boys messy dream! This week's topic was "Marbleizing" and boy was it an interesting class. Many steps were involved to get this week's masterpiece!

1. First the teacher gave us a small sheet of paper
2. Then she squirted shaving cream all over the paper
3. Andrew had to smear it all around until the paper was completely covered
4. The next step was to take pipettes and squirt paint all over the shaving cream one color at a time (Andrew really loved this part!)
5. Then we had to turn our frame/paper over and lightly press it into the shaving cream & paint
6. Finally, we had to scrape off the excess shaving cream off of the paper and voila!

I thought it was going to be so messy and shaving cream would be in our hair, ears, and all over our clothes...but Andrew did great. I guess I shouldn't care about that b/c everything washes anyway...as long as he had fun is what counts!

To top it all off - we got to go and have lunch with Ashley and Lindsay afterwards! It was a very fun Saturday!
