Step 15Īttach the 3D art piece on the background paper prepared in the previous step. Step 14Īttach the background paper on the back side paper. Also cut out a thick paper layer for the back side of the 3D art to give it some structure and support. You can either cut the paper to the layer size (5.5 inches X 3.5 inches) or cut to the size to fill the background space (the bottom layer cutout). Grab each item one by one and attach them to each layer to create a 3D scene. Take any one of the plant or grass cutouts and attach them to the back side of any layer. Trace and cut out the other items (leaves, grass, bat, moon, haunted house, plants etc.). And at last, attach the front layer, making sure to attach a frame between each paper layer. Step 9Īttach another frame on the second bottom layer and then attach the 3rd bottom layer on the frame. Place the second bottom layer on the frame like we did in the previous step. Apply a layer of glue along the frame and grab the second bottom paper layer. Step 7įlip the frame attached paper to the frame’s end. Step 6Ĭarefully place the bottom layer paper on the glued frame, making sure to match all 4 sides of the paper with the board frame. Apply thin lines of glue along the foam board frame. Grab the bottom layer and a foam board frame. Grab some craft foam board sheets and trace the canvas frame layout on them. The front layer cutout should be the biggest and the rest of patterns should get smaller towards the bottom layer. X-acto knives are very sharp, always use caution. This should only be done by an adult or responsible older children under adult supervision. Use an x-acto knife and cutting board to cut out the traced patterns. Be conscience of your colour sequence while tracing the patterns to ensure you have a nice flow from one layer to the next. One by one trace the layer patterns onto each sheet. Use a pencil to draw the front layer pattern on the sheet from the given template (or create your own unique designs!). Take the sheet selected for the front layer. Cut all 4 sheets to 5.5 inches X 3.5 inches. This 3D Art Tutorial has 4 layers, so you’ll need 4 different shades or colours of papers. Pick your colours! We used 3 shades of grey, black, yellow and blue for our design, but you can pick whatever colours your prefer for your design.

In this project we are working in three dimensions: height, width, and depth.Īnd depth makes all the difference in adding to the cool factor with my kids. There are techniques we can use to give the appearance of depth, but it is always going to be a flat piece. In this 3D Halloween Art Project we are building a spooky Halloween scene in three dimensions. So that also gives it bonus points with my reluctant crafters. This activity may not be quite as dynamic and interactive, but it is Halloween themed. We have done this before with our Benham Disc – Zeotrope activity and it really fascinated the kids. In this activity we are exploring dimensions and optical illusions. And how do I do this? By bringing in STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math to our Arts. But I’ve discovered if I can go beyond the simple stuff to make things that are dynamic, suddenly they show more interest and drive to participate.
