The Setup: Iron a few coffee filters to make them flat. Use hot glue to attach an unfolded paper clip to the back for hanging.

Decorate head with tempera paint, adding paper whiskers and eyelashes with white glue.

Continue adding paper until all sections are covered with a few layers.

Dip the paper into the paste, and smooth strips onto the animal head.

(You'll need about 11/2 cups of paste per animal.)

Make papier-mí¢ché paste: Combine 11/2 cups water and 1 cup flour stir vigorously.

Tear newspaper into strips and squares that are roughly 2 to 4 inches wide.

Use white glue to attach tightly crumpled balls of newspaper to the head for eyes and/or a nose.

Cut out ears from a second cereal box and attach them to the animal head with masking tape.

(Make it pointier for a fox, rounder for a dog or a bunny.) Use masking tape to attach the side flaps along each edge.

To shape the animal's face, cut a curve into the bottom half of the front and back panels.

From the bottom, cut halfway up each corner seam with scissors.

Start with a regular or mini cereal box.

To make the creatures at home with your kids:

Apply spray starch to the filter until the marker colors bleed together and the coffee filter is completely wet.īelieve it or not, these fantastic animal heads are made from nothing more than cereal boxes, newspaper, flour paste, and paint-a simple project that Los Angeles art teacher Samara Caughey loves doing with her young students because it stretches their creative muscles.

Drape the coffee filter over an upside-down plastic cup or yogurt container.

Make lines, spots, and blobs on the coffee filter with non-permanent markers.

Use scissors to trim the edge of a coffee filter to create an uneven, organic shape.

The translucency of the paper mimics the look of glass. For our student version, we used coffee filters.

Chihuly created a series of colorful, organic, bowl-shaped forms called Macchia (the word means spotted in Italian). Here, she shares an example that was a hit with her students.Ī trio of exhibitions of Dale Chihuly's contemporary glass sculptures in Nashville inspired this project. A firm believer in the idea that art is for everyone, she loves planning lessons with projects that students can interpret in their own way, with no wrong answers. Rachel Motta is an art teacher with the Metropolitan Nashville Public School district in Tennessee. Turn coffee filters into pretty paper glass with this crafty idea from a Nashville art teacher. What will he do when the lines intersect? (This could take a while-encourage your child to take a break if necessary, or to work here and there over a few days.) How did the line change as he filled the paper?īonus Fun: Instead of a single line, have your child draw a few geometric shapes at different spots on the page, then radiate the patterns outward on all sides.

Continue this way in a repeating color pattern (or not!) to fill the whole page, then remove any tape. Use another color for the second line, following along the first. The Project: Have your child draw a big, squiggly line at the top of the paper in one color of marker, making sure to go all the way from the left to the right side. Give your child three or four washable markers. (It will give a cleaner look.) Then clip or tape the paper to an easel or wall. The Setup: Cut a large piece of white easel paper and tape off a border with washi or painter’s tape, if desired. For more information, visit Sol LeWitt Prints. He worked in a temporary medium (walls) and believed that the art existed as an idea that could be replicated on different surfaces. In these, he drew vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines on walls to create surprising, room-size art. We were inspired by the Wall Drawing series by American artist Sol LeWitt.
