Art & science exhibition

art & science exhibition!

That was my first exhibition and I had enjoyed it a lot.today I am here to share some of the ideas which definitely help you in arranging your art & science exhibition at school.It is a tough task especially when you have to indulge children into work and their work and their abilities and time requirement to complete the task is different than it would take much time than you do it yourself.I am the luckiest one as my students are always so obedient and participating in my each and every activity. It is hard for the teacher to involve all the students but now I know the skill how to involve them with little effort.For me the most difficult thing is that I had involved much students and became tired at the end of the day.(some personal feelings :))

These models had taken around a month to complete. I had worked with grade 3rd to 7th for the models and for photo frames I had given chances to grade 1 to 7th to create your master piece.Now you could easily imagine how much work load would be but at the end when we had arranged our school exhibition. it was superb!

Our first week passed in arranging the raw material.Most of them have same materials.

• polystyrene sheets.
• germen glue or white glue
• colored papers
• glease paper
• seizors
• tooth picks 
• poster paints
• brushes
• news papers
• tissues.

well, these were the basic items.remaining a few were according to model demand. I would like to share all the models with you.The next few post will be about different models and art works which we had done at exhibition.

Before staring lets know few things about polystyrene sheet.

There are many names of this sheet and it really make me confused when I am sharing here so I decided to search a little before sharing it ( here we call it thermal sheet :) I really don't know why we use many names for the same thing:P.as many names confuse you.)

polystyrene sheets (known as thermal sheets)

You can easily find it from any craft shop. The good thing about polystyrene sheet is that you can cut it to any required shape of the model.

HOW TO CUT IT??

1. take a pencil to draw the shape.
2. don't put your weight or hand pressure on it as it can easily break
3. once you draw the lines or shape on it.go to the kitchen and take a straight knife. heat it a little bit and start cutting.
4. it cut like a cake (yummy yummy) and in between if you feel that knife is not cutting smoothly, it means, you should repeat the heating of knife.

The best would be to do cutting in kitchen as it needs heated knife a little again and again.If you not heat it and cut it . your whole model don't look neat.

Note : don't use bond on this sheet as bond start eating it. it happened to me when  I was making a notice word . if you it I will tell you the trick how to use it but just keep in mind don't put bond directly on the polystyrene sheet.

now look at the simplest model.draw on the sheet ,cut it with a little hot knife and than stand it with the help of tooth picks.it make your both hands free for painting.

we used here three colors to get a light brick color.firstly red than white and at the end brown.

It is a historal pass and we try to make it the same as it is today.we made road with black and white and silver around the road. we made bushes with colored paper.you can use formic sheet as well.

place a tooth pick at its back (bush) and paste it with a tape. that's it.tooth picks are easy to make things stand on polystyrene sheet.check out the few models and check out how easily you can make them with simple materials.

share,like and comment. hope so you like the post!
