Yellow mixed mediums


our materials:
yellow colored pencil
white colored pencil
silver crayon
gold crayon
gold gel pen
glue
geode pieces (we got a geode to crack open a few months ago and I have been looking for a fun project to use it for)
a piece of cardboard with a piece of black paper glued on top (the paper was way to flimsy to glue the geodes onto, and the cardboard was too plain, so this was the happy compromise)

Lucas colored with the colored pencils and crayons. (He couldn't get the gel pen to write because he tends to hold writing implements in his fist and it just wouldn't write like that..) He was pretty entertained by the way the marks showed up on the dark paper. But only wanted to color for a short while because he saw the glue. And he LOVES glue! He used a generous amount. :)
I got the idea for a night sky art project from the Let's Explore Blog. The geodes are supposed to look like stars. Lucas has been fascinated by the moon lately and I thought he would really enjoy doing an art project involving the night sky. He DID like it, but seemed indifferent to the theme.
