Maybe just local folk art? <br />Yes students in the 4th grade - 9 years old created these. First they traced a circle- circumference, then added radial designs and patterns. <br />Colored in with construction paper crayons and added copper tooling with more radial patterns.

No students were even cut, but I told them it could be sharp so be careful. After that, they used a pencil, added more designs on the border of the foil and lastly glued down the mirror with tacky glue.Paintedpaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600475537002937461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990413224551907033.post-77254408462941770502009-11-07T12:43:10.363-05:002009-11-07T12:43:10.363-05:00These are fabulous!!!
