6th March, 2013
When I was a small kid, I used to watch M.A.D (music art and dance) on POGO. I used to love the art which the host of the show, Rob, used to make various creative items. It was beautiful and innovative. Once he taught making penguins from paper mache. It fascinated me and thus I tried making it myself. And thats how I learned the art of paper mache.
I wanted others too to learn and appreciate the work that can be done by paper mache. Hence, me and classmates decided to teach 6th graders to make penguins. We planned the activity and equally divided the materials that were needed.
The things needed to make paper mache are:
1. Small bits of tissue paper
2. Glue
3. Water
4. Powder or flour
5. A bottle whose bottom is cut
6. A mixing bowl
7. Paints
In a mixing bowl, put the bits of paper. Add glue and powder. Add water and mix properly with hands. A sticky mixture will be obtained. Apply the mixture on the bottle. Make fins and beak. Keep to dry.
After the body dries, paint the body black and the beak red. And paint the central area white. Cut 2 small rounds of white paper and use them as eyes. And voila! Your penguin is ready!
We all had a lot of fun making them. We helped the students making them. I am sure they enjoyed making the penguins. They all did a marvelous job. I learned myself while teaching them with patience and also brushed my art skills.
Till next time :)
