Fantastic Faux Fossils - Lesson Plan

Students create their own "fossil bed" by modeling three-dimensional shapes of animals, plants or insects, then "burying" them beneath layers of tissue paper. Add earth-tone pastels to make them look as if they just came from an excavation site. You can also find a pdf version of this lesson along with a materials list and the national standards for visual arts by following this link to the Blick web page:

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to use hot clue or even t-shirt paint instead of wire?
