Grades Kindergarten – 2nd

Lesson :  Aluminum Foil Printing

Materials:  Aluminum foil, water soluble markers and either crayons or sharpies, paper (heavier paper is easier but not necessary.) spray bottle for water or damp sponge.

Watch:  Here are 2 videos that show the basic process:

Foil Transfer Art : 6 Steps (with Pictures)

Foil Marker Print: Rainbow Robot!

Make:  

1.  Draw a simple outline drawing of something such as a heart or a robot on paper with either sharpie or black crayon.  
2.  Color the aluminum foil with markers in a variety of colors.  
3. If you have a spray bottle, you can spray the foil or the paper.  If you use a damp sponge, just lightly dampen the paper.
4. Press the drawing onto the foil to transfer the color.

Note:  One video shows spraying water on the paper first, the other shows spraying water on the marker first.  Try it both ways and see what works best for you! Add science into art by thinking about what might work best and testing both strategies.
