ABOUT THIS BLOG

"A Faithful Attempt" is designed to showcase a variety of K-12 art lessons, the work of my art students, as well as other art-related topics. Projects shown are my take on other art teacher's lessons, lessons found in books or else designed by myself. Thanks for visiting!
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I acknowledge, with deep respect, that I am gathered on Treaty 7 territory. I acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for generations. I respect the histories, languages and cultures of all the Indigenous peoples of Canada, whose presence continues to enrich our community.

Wax Resist Bookmarks



I found this cute and easy activity on the Lost Button Studio website. 
It's a good project if you have scraps of leftover cardstock/heavy paper, which I always do. 
My Grade 1 students used neon oil pastels to draw patterns and designs on the card,
then did a watercolour wash over the top. 

You always gets 'oohs and aaahs' from the little ones when they see the oil pastels resisting the paint. Let dry, laminate, punch a hole at the top and add some yarn.
