272-Craypas Resist Banners or Pennants

Craypas Resist on Pellon (K- adult)

Aims:
 •To create individual works to glue onto to a background
•To (possibly) integrate other curriculum into your art lesson such as science, math, social studies, etc.

Materials & Tools:
white pellon (not glue kind)
craypas
watercolors
brushes, water can
scissors
newspaper to protect table

Procedure:
Cut pellon into a banner or pennant shape. Have a theme such as heritage, their name, symbols, etc. for the students to respond to. Draw, using pressure,
your design. Use lines, don’t color in. Paint watercolor over the craypas. (Oil repels water.)

Reflection:
These are beautiful hung in windows or in light.
