Have you ever heard of melted crayons? Well it is a fun, simple, and easy project to do! Some people don't like using crayons for coloring but they don't have to just keep them on the side. You can make use of it that will attract everyone. All you need is a few materials:
- A blank white canvas
- A hot glue gun or a glue stick
- A hair dryer
- A lot of crayons
For this project, make sure there is adult supervision. In addition, make sure you have newspapers spread out so you don't get anything dirty. Are you ready to start this project? Well, then lets take our crayons out. If you can't figure out how many crayons you want, lay them out side to side on the top of the canvas with the tips facing down. Take the number of crayons that fit. Make sure to take the crayons that are colorful. Don't try taking black or brown. Once you pick the crayons you want, you have to spread a thin line of glue with a hot glue gun or simply a glue stick on each crayon. Next, you can stick it on to the top of the canvas in a striaght line, side to side. Make sure the tip of the crayon is facing down.
Once you have done that and made sure the crayons on the canvas are dry, take your blow dryer. Keep your canvas straight up on an easel or somehow make it stand up. Turn on your blow dryer on HIGH and start to blow dry your canvas. Since it is on HIGH, you will have to blow dry it for about 30 minutes but you can take breaks in between. Try to keep blow drying your canvas until it drips closer to the bottom of the canvas. Once almost the whole thing is filled, you are done! Have fun!

There are many different types of paint. One of them are acrylic paint.What is acrylic paint? You can use acrylic paint for painting on any surface. It can be used for wood, walls, canvas, paper, e.t.c. Acrylic paint makes the surface you are drawing on stay the same texture because it is not that watery. It just adds color. Sometimes when I think of acrylic paint I think of "regular paint." It is also a fast drying paint. In addition, if you make a mistake you can't just paint another color on top of it because it will show. If you put water on it while its not dry, it will just mix into the color. If you put water on it when it is dry, it turns water-resistant.
Another type of paint is oil paint. I really like oil paint because it looks really nice when painted. Oil paint is the opposite of acrylic paint because it drys really slow unlike acrylics. In addition oil paint contains a lot of liquid. Its just like oil inside paint. This liquid makes the painting full of glossiness. When you paint with oil paint you sometimes have to do multiple coats to make it look neat. Sometimes if you don't, you see some shading spots which look unprofessional. Oil paint usually come in small tubes.
Try taking a guess at which one you think is painted by acrylic paint and oil paint! In comment box, please state your answer!
One of the brushes are the fan brush. Whenever I look at a fan brush it reminds me of those hand held fans that are used in China. What reminds you when you see a fan brush? Well, first you need to know what a fan brush is. A fan brush is a brush with thin layers of short hair that is spread out like a fan. It comes from the silver metal part of the brush which is called a ferrule. You can use a fan brush to create texture and to blend colors. This brush is great for hair and small details like highlights in your hair. You can also use it for making leaves on trees or like branches. Its great for dotting when you are painting a scenery drawing. Also, when you paint with this, you have to make sure the painting looks realistic.
When you paint with a fan brush, there are many cool tricks. One trick is that you can take multiple colors in one paintbrush at the same time and then when you paint it will come out as a rainbow! Another cool trick is that if you are making a tree or anything else, you use shading. You can take a little bit of dark green, light green, and a little yellow for a tree and then dot on on a canvas or paper. You can dot it upwards and it will look AWESOME! Here are some examples of paintings used by a fan brush and used by the cool tricks!
When you are painting, there is not just one type of brush to paint with. You can tell about which brush to use depending of what you are painting. There are 8 different types of brushes. Now I am going to tell you which brushes are good for what in art. The first brush is called a round tip. A round brush is good for sketching, outlining and for filling in small areas. Also, you can use it for making a thin line to a thick line. The next brush is called the pointed round. The pointed round brush is just like the round brush but the top is more pointed. You can use it for small details and for retouching. The third brush is called the flat brush and it has a square end. You can use it for big spaces, edges and for bold lines. The forth is called the bright brush. It has flat edges that are curved a bit. You can paint short lines with it and make dark color.
Four brushes covered and four more to go! Next, there is a Filbert brush. It is flat and oval shaped in the end. You can paint things that you want to be round. For example, a circle. Next, you can paint with an angular flat brush. This brush is flat but the top goes in an angle. You can use this brush for curved lines and filling corners. This brush is very similar to the flat brush because you can use it for edges. In addition, there is a fan brush. It has flat hair that is spread out like the chinese hand fan. This brush is used for making a painting smooth. You can use it for clouds, leaves on trees, and for making texture. Finally, there is a detailed round brush. This brush is thin and round with a shorter handle. You use this brush for for tiny details in the picture.
Now, try to get to know your paint brush more like a friend!
