0 Comments

 
For this week’s Grab & Go Activity, we will be making Potato Prints for our Potato Week! Turn it into wrapping paper, a birthday card or art for your wall. 
Picture
Materials in your Kit:
  • potato
  • paper
  • pencil
  • paperclip
  • acrylic paint
  • paintbrush
Materials needed from home:
  • knife (adults only) 
Design Your Print
  1. Ask an adult to cut a potato into thick slices.
  2. On a piece of paper, sketch a design for your potato stamp.
  3. Center the design on the paper over the flesh of the cut potato.
  4. To transfer the design, use the end of an unbent paperclip to poke holes along the design lines.
Carve the Potato
  1. Think about what parts of your design you want to receive paint and what parts you don't. Only carve away the parts of the potato's surface that you don't want to receive paint.
  2. Start carving! Use the curved end of the paper clip to carve the potato—the wide side to remove large strips and the narrow side to carve details.
Make Your Print
  1. Pat the potato stamp dry with a paper towel.
  2. Use a wet paintbrush to apply the paint to the stamp.
  3. Firmly press the stamp onto a piece of paper for about three seconds.
  4. Slowly lift the potato from the paper.
  5. Repeat to make a pattern.
  6. Check out your awesome print!

Projecto de Arte para llevar a casa: Impresiones de papa

¡Para la actividad proyecto de arte para llevar a casa de esta semana, estaremos haciendo impresiones de papa para nuestra Semana de la Papa!  Conviértelo en papel de regalo, una tarjeta de cumpleaños o un arte para tu pared. ​
Materiales para llevar a casa:
  •  Papa (cortada en rodajas gruesas)
  •  Papel
  •  Lápiz
  •  Clip de papel
  •  Pintura acrílica
  •  Pincel ​
Diseñe su impresión:
  1.  Pídale a un adulto que corte una papa en rodajas gruesas.  
  2.  En una hoja de papel, esboce un diseño para su sello de papa.  
  3. Centre el diseño en el papel sobre la pulpa de la papa cortada.  
  4. Para transferir el diseño, use el extremo de un clip sin doblar para hacer agujeros a lo largo de las líneas del diseño.
Corte la papa:
  1.  Piense en qué partes de su diseño desea que se pinten y qué partes no.  Solo corte las partes de la superficie de la papa que no desea que reciban pintura.  
  2. ¡Empiece a tallar!  Use el extremo curvo del clip para cortar la papa: el lado ancho para quitar las tiras grandes y el lado estrecho para tallar los detalles.

  2.  Utilice un pincel húmedo para aplicar la pintura al sello.
