Tin Foil as an Art Medium

1. Take a picture already drawn- A string of friends. 
2. Happen upon a wooden sculpture. 
3. Put the sculpture on one of the girls, rotating over each girl.
4. Hey, mom has tin foil on the counter....
5. Fold foil over the sculpture...it makes a great impression but was hard to cut out.
6. Switch to tracing the object onto the foil. Cut out carefully. 
7. Embellish the silver girl with markers, glitter glue, etc. 
8. Place her over one of the girls or just add another friend into the picture. 

Trial and error- first pressing foil on top of the sculpture

It's hard to trace around the object when it is under the foil. 

Cut the 3-D impression out carefully. But it falls flat with handling.

Move sculpture on the top of the foil.
Trace and cut carefully.

Glue her on your art work.

Now she really shines!

Taking this new found art medium.....we tried our hand at a few activities using foil.

For the pirate lover, we used a circle craft punch to cut out coins. 

We also printed out a fish image from the web and painted with watercolors. 

Then we cut little pieces of foil and secured on the fish with some glitter glue. 

A beautiful rainbow trout!
