Art of the day

MATERIALS NEEDED:

  • 1. Black and white cardstock paper (12-inch by 12-inch size)
  • 2. Acrylic paint in several colors
  • 3. Shaving cream
  • 4. 3 foil containers
  • 5. Rubber spatula
  • 6. Toothpicks
  • 7. Squeegee
  • 8. Gold glitter glue
  • 9. Sponge brush or paint brush
  • 10. Glue stick
  • 11. Cups and bowls of different sizes to trace the circles

PROCEDURE

  1. Start by cutting different sized circle shapes from your white cardstock paper. You can use different sized cups, bowls and containers to trace your circles.
  • 2. Squirt shaving cream into the foil containers, enough to fill the bottom of the pans. Use your rubber spatula to spread the shaving cream out evenly and make it as smooth as you can. The kids will have fun doing this part, just make sure you do the final once over.

PROCEDURE

  • 3. Squirt various colors of acrylic paint onto the shaving cream. It seems to work best If you squirt the paint in lines of various directions. Use a toothpick to create lines up and down, side to side and diagonally. You want to end up with a marbled look in the paint as this is the design you will be transferring to your planets for your preschool space craft.
  • 4. Press the circle down into the paint and lightly rub all over the circle to get the shaving cream to stick to the entire circle. Carefully remove the circle from the paint and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Use your squeegee to remove the excess shaving cream from your circle.

PROCEDURE

Art of the day: PERFECT ORDER

INFERENCE

There is so much chaos; yet there is a beautiful order in that chaos. Order is present because of kṣetrajña. If it were solely matter or kṣetra, there would not be any intelligence. There is intelligence in that matter. That intelligence or consciousness creates this existence. So the combination of kṣetra and kṣetrajña is necessary.
