This weeks lesson we did some sight seeing! We were each given a famous landmark from various places around the world. My location being Great Sphinx in Giza, Egypt. We then drew our location onto a piece of white paper and traced it was a black permanent marker. Once the drawing was complete, we cut around our picture. The next step was to put shaving cream onto the bottom of a large pan and smooth it out. Then with adding drops of three adjacent onto the shaving cream. I took a wooden comb and pulled the paint droppings through the shaving cream creating a marbled look. I then placed my drawing into the shaving cream face down. Next, I pulled my drawing from the shaving cream and with a straight edge I wiped away the excess shaving cream. This left a marbled paint affect onto my picture. Once the picture was dry, I added a colored boarder and a name tag to identify my drawing. This project is a project I would love to do in my classroom.
An extension activity would be for the students to research their landmark and write a poem based on what they find. After the poem is written, we could put that poem to a beat or a rhythm.
