PICTURE FRAMES

These past two weeks in art class, we made picture frames using recycled materials.

We used styrofoam trays from home to create the frame. The children drew a shape to create the space for the photo, such as circles, hearts and animals. Then, the frames were decorated with different recycled materials like noodles, buttons, straws and confetti. We also used paint, ribbon and sparkles. The frames turned out beautifully and are ready to hold a picture!

If you have a photo at home without a frame, you can use tape or glue to place the photo in the frame as you like.

MACHÉ PAPER MASKS

Children of 3rd and 4th level made carnival masks during the Art lessons. All we need is:

- A plastic mask.
-Aluminium paper.
-Newspaper.
-Water and glue.
-Paint and a paintbrush.

Process:
   
First of all, you have to cover the plastic mask with aluminium paper. Then, you have to stick small pieces of newspaper (with a mixture of glue and water). When it dries, separate it from the plastic mask and finally, paint it. The results are fantastic!!!
