Marbled Paper

I was amazed when I found out how shaving cream and paint could be used to create a marbleized effect on paper. I found step by step instructions on wikihow.com. The students started the project by choosing 2-3 colors they then put about an inch think of shaving onto a cookie sheet and put a few drops of each color on top of the shaving cream. They then swirled the colors around using the back of a paint brush, but they made sure not to over swirl since the colors may get muddy. The results were beautiful and the students then used stencils to create silhouette designs on top of the marbleized paper. Another student was very creative and used her paper to create the ice cream on her painting.
