Thanks to this activity, children will become familiar withan interesting technology for creating a vase from plastic bottles and paper; master painting on a relief paper product; cultivate patience, determination, perseverance, accuracy and hard work. Even in ancient times, a vase was an indispensable attribute in interior decoration. Archaeologists find vases during excavations of ancient civilizations, but their use was completely different from modern ones. For the ancient Greeks, clay vases with artistic painting were not only decoration, but were also intended for storing various liquids and bulk substances. In the Middle Ages, floor vases were assigned the role of decor in the homes of the aristocracy and magnates. Until now, vases have retained this role in the interiors of houses, hotels, shopping malls and office premises, their presence symbolizes well-being and prosperity. Our vase will be unique in its own way, since it will be made of unusual materials. Here they are:
- bottles of plastic (1.5l and 5l);
- paint (water-emulsion type);
- lacquer;
- bank;
- Scotch;
- glue;
- gouache;
- toilet paper (2-3 rolls);
- Brush elastic wide;
- manicure scissors;
- brushes for drawing.
Course of work.
The first thing we need to do is to create the shape of the vase. To do this, cut off the neck of the bottle. Nail scissors will come in handy here, they are the most convenient to use.
Attention!It is not advisable to entrust this stage to children, as they may get hurt by a sharp object. If you decide to entrust this part of the work to a child, familiarize him with the following list of safety rules: 1) before using scissors, check their serviceability; 2) it is prohibited to work with scissors with a weak fastening; 3) scissors must be properly adjusted and sharpened; 4) carefully monitor the movements of the blades; 5) scissors are placed with the rings towards you, and fed with the rings forward; 6) scissors should not be left open; 7) scissors are stored blade down, in a case; 8) scissors must be used strictly for their intended purpose, do not play with them and do not bring them to your face. Using tape, we fasten the parts of the vase.
Next, take PVA glue and dilute it in warm water.(the consistency of the finished mixture should be similar to cream). Apply glue to the vase with a wide brush, then apply toilet paper to this area, and spread the glue on it. The resulting small folds will create the relief of the vase surface. Now it's time to sculpt a relief decoration of flowers. This stage should be carried out only after the vase has dried. For reliable drying, one or two days will be needed, it all depends on the room temperature. The glue is diluted somewhere 1/3, i.e. for one part water there are three parts glue. Additionally, prepare toilet paper. Tear off a small piece of paper and fold it in three or even four. The paper is crumpled as if inward, forming a flower. This will be its back side. This is approximately how the flower will look from the outside:
After this, the flower blank is dipped inglue and squeeze it out a little. Try not to damage the shape. Then the flower is fixed in the intended place. The following illustration shows how the neck of the vase is decorated. The flowers are multi-layered, one part needs to be glued into the next, moving around the neck. The complexity of this process will require more patience from you, due to the fact that due to the weight of the glue, the parts may crumble, but the end result will please you. This is what should be the output:
Next, the same sequence is performeddecoration of the main part of the vase. After sculpting each flower, let the vase dry. This time drying can take 2-5 days. It is preferable to place the vase on a small elevation, which will be slightly smaller than the base of the vase. This is due to the fact that the remaining glue will flow down.
We leave the back side of the vase untoucheddecorated. It's time to prime the vase. Water-based paint will be used at this stage. This process will also require special patience, since every hole and fold is painted over, and the paint does not lay down on the material very obediently. However, this work will make painting the vase easier. Water-based paint also needs to be allowed to dry.
Finally it was time to paint the vase.First, the tone is chosen - in our case, it will be a pastel blue shade. It is obtained by mixing gouache and water-based paint. As soon as the paint dries, a soft blue color will appear.
After this, the flowers are painted with the selected shades. This tone is the first in the relief decoration of the vase.
At the top, the flowers are painted pink.shade. It should also be painted carefully, without gaps. Next, a crimson shade is added to the petals and the leaves are drawn underneath the flowers.
Around the main flower arrangement alsogreen leaves are drawn. White paint is used to add spots to the painted leaves. After that, the spots are washed out with a brush dipped in clean water. This way, we will create all sorts of shades of green, and the foliage will acquire a brighter appearance. Various shades are also introduced into the flowers themselves to give them a more realistic and voluminous appearance. What should end up being obtained, you can see in the illustration:
Once the paints are dry, cover the vase withwith the help of varnish to make it more practical in the process of using in everyday life. Such a vase will perfectly complement any bouquet not only of fresh flowers, but also of dried flowers.
