Scavenger Hunt

Earlier today Me  Makayla nd  Julie dye did a scavenger hunt.
the objectives were to:

Find 4 types of paper and explain the difference..

find 1 non-paper material that you can create art on..

3 types of paint and explain the difference

and to find 5 non-paint materials that you could use to create a color artwork.

For the 4 types of paper.. these are our findings:

Toned Tan Paper

Tone Tan paper is a really thick paper that is well..Toned Tan.! it is really textured, and great for sketching, and finished art pieces. Not good for wet media, (or makeup apparently.. XD), White shows up really great on this type of paper.

Canson Mixed Media Sketchbook

Now Canson Mixed Media paper is really great for sketching, and also mixed media such as: Watercolor (maybe), acrylic paint (also maybe), and possibly Copics or any wet media, Which is why its called "Mixed media" so you can use things other than pencil.

Canson Sketch paper is a little thinner I suppose from the toned tan paper and obviously you cant see white on white. but you can use other mediums on this kind of paper unlike the toned tan.

Watercolor Paper

Watercolor paper is obviously the most ideal for using watercolors on. The paper is very textured and can hold heavy watercolors. (like if were to layer them.) it is the thickest paper of the 4 listed here, and can also be used for (but not recommended) Sketching, oilpastels, colored pencils, any dry media. But the purpose of this paper is to be used with watercolors, so that's the best medium to use for this type of paper.

Printer Paper

Just Regular Old printer paper. Not good for use with Watercolors, oilpastels, or any heavy media. Good for colored pencils, and sketching and graphite, also not good for charcoal. Is the thinnest most lightweight of the four types of paper listed.

Now on to the 4 non-paper materials that you could create art on:

Clay Table

This is a clay table where you can mold and make sculptures and do all of your clay doings on.

And 3 types of paint and their differences

Watercolor Paint



Watercolor paint is "a combination of pigment and gum arabic. Every paint medium is a combination of pigment and a binder. The binder determines the category of medium, which is to say, what type of paint it is. Oil paint is pigment + oil, usually linseed oil. Encaustic paint is pigment + wax. Acrylic paint is pigment + acrylic medium."

Acrylic Paint


Acrylic Paint is water soluble when its wet, but dries quickly. it dries in like a "plastic-like film".

Metallic Paint



(BTW sorry if the picture is blurry D:) Metallic paint is basically a paint that shines when it dries, leaving a "Metallic" look to it. it works most similar to the Acrylic Paint.

5 non-paint materials that you could use to create a color artwork

Beads



Beads Can be used for a variety of things such as necklaces, bracelets, or you could even put them on a pipe cleaner and shape them into anything you want! You can also glue them onto paper to create kind of like a collage sort of thing, if that's what you want to do.

Construction paper


This is a butterfly made out of construction paper. you can make a lot of things with construction paper when you have a lot of different colors, scissors, and glue.

Cloth



Popsicle Stick



Scrap Metal

I had a lot of fun doing this, and I hope to do more stuff like this in the future!
