This visual arts project started with a can of shaving cream and some food colouring!
First, students created a smooth triangle with shaving cream. Most enjoyed the sensory experience of moving the cream around. Then, they dripped some food colouring and used a wooden stick to pull the colour through the shaving cream, creating swirls and lines throughout the triangle.
Next, they pressed a sheet of paper on top, peeled it back, and used a thick ruler to scrape off the shaving cream. A beautiful evergreen tree was left on the paper!
The last step was to use pastels, chalk and oil, to create a background. The finished projects are beautiful!
