A bit of fun this week creating a bubbly background for our underwater creatures.
This is a technique that could be used very effectively to make beautiful paper for a variety of uses including torn-paper collage, scrap-booking or simply as an interesting textured background, as we have used it in this project.
After looking at some beautiful jellyfish inspiration pictures many children chose a jellyfish theme, while others elected to draw other sea creatures. We blew bubbles in a strong solution of watercolour and dish liquid before capturing them on the paper. Messy, but loads of fun and very effective!
We finished with soft pastel, blurring and blending the pastel inwards to maintain the transparency of our jellyfish. Many of the children blurred their oil pastel outwards instead, creating a wonderful 'glow' around their creatures.
Beautiful!
