My 7 year old daughter has to make something?

Question

she has to make an art project I dont have ant Ideas please give me some with instructions its for her language class

Answer 1

Since you listed this under sculpture, you can check on-line for making homemade playdoh with flour, water and salt.

Paper mache is made using strips of newspaper into a mixture of flour and water. First make a 3-D design with wadded up newspaper and masking tape. Next, add the paper mache strips over the form and let it dry. Then this can be painted with tempera paint. For a language class, you could maybe make a large letter, then design during the painting process using words/information with the same letter...

A cardboard box could be made into a TV set. Then shelf paper can be attached to two dowel rods that are placed through the sides of the box. As the rods are turned, your daughter's language-type of subject can be the pictures on the shelf paper that show through the TV set.

Thinking of language, maybe your daughter can find large faces of people in magazines. Then their mouths can be cut out and balloons attached! Write on the balloons the "language" message. Maybe something like this would have a poster board backing to make it solid.

She might like to do a mobile, cutting shapes/letters out of heavy paper and then hanging them with yarn from a tree branch placed in a flower pot, or on a hanger, etc.

Ziploc bags that can hold liquid can have blue dye with water; then add letters/shapes - fish - stars, etc. made from let's say plastic lids from fast food places for an aquarium effect, placing it in-between a couple of frames.

I hope these ideas can help your daughter become excited about creating! Good luck and have fun.

Answer 2

Mystery Paint
Materials:
baking soda
water
paper
paintbrush
food color of choice

Steps:
Just mix equal parts baking soda and water, then paint a message on a piece of paper. Let dry for an hour.Mix water with a little food coloring. Paint over dried mixture and your message will be revealed.



Bread Dough

Things You'll Need
2 Cups of regular white, unsifted flour.
1/2 Cup of plain table salt
3/4 Cups of water (fresh from the tap)
Large mixing bowl
Flat surface to work
Oven
Optional: One egg. If you want a shiny finish on your object, brush it with a coat of slightly beaten raw egg before baking. (Do not perform this option if you are going to paint the object.)
Optional: Paint. Apply paint or varnish after your project is baked and completely cooled.

In a mixing bowl, combine and blend the flour and the salt.
With your knuckles, make a "well" or "pocket" in the center of the dry mixture.
Pour about 1/2 the water into the well.
Mix the "dough" with a fork or use your hands.
Add the remaining water.
Continue to work the dough (knead) with your hands until the "stickiness" is gone and the dough feels smooth to the touch (like clay) and it is not crumbly. (If the dough is too crumbly, add a few DROPS of water at a time to moisten the dough.) (If the dough feels too wet, add a PINCH of flour at a time and knead it more.)
Set your clay onto a flat work space and shape the project of your choice. (See "Tips")
Place the shaped object (s) on an ungreased cookie sheet/pizza pan.
Pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees.
Bake your creation for about an hour. (Take a peek at it after 45 minutes, and then again every five minutes to avoid burning your creation.)
When baked, remove your project from the oven and allow it to completely cool and harden.
Paint or varnish your creation. (See "Things You'll Need: Optional")


Tips
If you are planning to hang your creation (such as a tree or wall ornament) poke a small hole in your object where you can affix a hanger/ribbon/string, etc. Use a kitchen skewer, the point of a knitting needle, a nail, or a pencil.
Create various flat shapes with cookie cutters.(Stars, animals, ovals, round circles, leaves, etc.)
Sculpt your own creation.



Warnings
Never leave children unsupervised when using a hot oven.
This recipe is not for eating.


Use ordinary crafting acrylics to paint. Add crafter's varnish for a shiny finish.

Try to find out what she is interested in. Something like a book report or a testing something. Is she interested in Unicorns, then she can do a prodject on how Unicons behave. I'm not an expert, so I may be wrong.
