Window Galleries



In this post, we are going to be making gallery displays for our windows. You can design these to look however you want!


Draw the images you want to put in your gallery - I made a rainbow and some colourful flowers and a sun. 

Tip: stick to the same few colours to make all your pictures tie together.

Stick your images into a window - you can use
sticky tack or tape for this.

     


Another way to make pictures in your window is to use felt tip directly onto the glass. Remember to use washable, not permanent markers!

     

This gives a stained glass window effect - this is my rainbow reflected back into the room!

To see your pictures better from the outside, stick some white paper on the window as a background

Paper Pulp Dinosaur Chimeras

Image
  Hello and welcome to our last Family Saturdays at Home. Today we’re going to be making a paper pulp mixture and using it to sculpt dinosaur chimeras. You will need: - Shredded paper - Salt - Flour - A kettle - A hand blender If you don’t have a hand blender it might be a good idea to repeat the paper soaking process over a couple of days.  You can use torn up newspaper if you don’t have shredded paper. To make your paper pulp get a grown-up to cover the paper shreddings with boiling water and leave it overnight. After leaving it to soak for 24 hrs use the hand blender to break it up into a pulp. Make sure to get a grown-up to help you with this bit. Next, squeeze out all the liquid from your pulp so that it looks like this and add flour until you get a mouldable dough consistency. Design your dino chimera from parts of other dinosaurs. Lay out your mixture and then start to sculpt, just like clay! Leave to dry - I put cardboard under the bits that needed support and added cereal box

Momentary Sculptures with Abi

Image
Hello, I ’ m Abi and welcome to Aspex at Home! In this post, we’re creating momentary sculptures inspired by Peter Fischli and David Weiss. I hope you have lots of fun, and remember to try lots of different objects! You’ll need to collect some interesting objects from around the house, or you could try to find some on a walk to make nature-themed sculptures. Try out how different objects look together!     Place your objects in interesting ways and balance them - quickly snap a photo before they fall! You'll need to take the photographs quickly after you let go - so you might need an assistant to help you out.  Share your artwork with us by tagging @aspex_takepart and using the hashtag #AspexatHome.

Time Capsules

Image
Hi everyone! The theme of this post is connecting across generations, so we're going to be making time capsules!  A time capsule is a container storing a selection of objects that commemorate the current time, to be put away and discovered in the future. The idea with ours is to create a time capsule about our life as it is at the moment, and to hide it away for a really long time until we've grown up and can show future generations the treasures inside!
