Ok so no judging on the outcome of this art project. I did not follow the instructions fully so my art project turned out looking a little scary. The drawing is not too bad, but the transformation through the transparency film was an epic failure.
This is a 3rd grade art project. We were instructed to sketch a picture of a face and it's attributes, if the face is smiling or frowning, the hair color, etc. After we drew the face, we had to place transparency paper over our drawings and color the clear paper using water-based markers. We had to color the face, hair, lips, eyes, etc. After that was completed, then we sprayed a blank piece of paper with water and had to blot the paper with paper towels until there were no puddles left and then placed the transparency paper with the colors on it, with the colored side touching the wet paper. We then took a roller and rolled the color onto the wet paper. Here is where I messed up and where students will mess up as well. I did not blot the paper well enough and there were puddles left which created the image of the colors globing together and not transferring into the places in which they were originally colored. My character is roughly 20 years old, happy and smiling, although the picture shows a blank face, she is supposed to be smiling. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, and make-up on, the got smeared into a crying mascara face.
This project was fun and we had several laughs with it. The students will get the chance to explore drawing faces. Using the transparency paper made this project interesting, I thought it was cool how the process all worked, so I can imagine that students in 3rd grade will think it is something like magic.
