Marbled Kremlin

This art project was a demonstration of a marbling technique using shaving cream and paint. The paint remained but the shaving cream is scraped away. The requirements of the project were to free hand a picture of a landmark or piece of architecture using a coloring page as a source. This picture of the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia was drawn with permanent marker and then marbled using the colors purple, orange, and red. The picture was then glued to a piece of construction paper and then cut to frame the piece. The label was added with a metallic marker.
An extension activity for this project would be to have the students research the demographics of the city or country that houses their attraction. The students will then create a pamphlet advertising their attraction by using the information they discovered with the cover photo being their marbled depiction of the sight.
