Magical Melting Art

Don’t you hate it when you leave your crayons out in the sun and they melt and make a big mess? But if you look closer at that big, melted mess, you can see some pretty amazing color patterns and unique drippage! We decided to take the idea of melting crayons and turn it into some amazing art pieces.  We are really proud of our work!  Each piece is very unique and represents the unique interests and personalities of the members in “The Hornet’s Nest.”IMG_0288

Each student came up with their own unique idea and then we melted the crayons on a 12 x 12 piece of canvas.  I think they did an awesome job!  We hung these up for Open House and received lots of “OOOOhhhhs” and “AAaahhhs.”

What are some of your favorite art projects?  We’d love to hear about them.  Please post pictures or links in the the comments below!
