Fossils


Last week, during STREAM, we created fossils using plastic dinosaurs and an air-drying clay.  Our fossils spent the week drying, and they were ready for an "antiqued" paint finish.  To create this paint finish, a metallic gold acrylic paint was mixed with Modge Podge glue.  Students brushed the finish over their entire fossil creation.  They turned out amazing!!
