ENCAUSTIC

(TURPENTINE )
Encaustic
Encaustic, meaning they are painted with
pigmented wax on a substrate, such as a
wood panel, and are fused or burned in
through the use of a heat source, such as a
heat gun or propane torch.
Preplanning Objective
To achieve an encaustic (or melted)
effect.
Materials
Crayons wax paper; turpentine:
brush or rag Preparation
Cover work area with newspaper. Have turpentine placed in paper cups. Distribute brushes or rags for daubing on
small areas of turpentine. Each child will need paper. crayons, and turpentine.
Procedure
Using wax crayons, draw solid shapes directly on paper. Wet small areas as you work, or dip finished piece in
turpentine. This will cause wax to melt a little and run. Areas of the drawing can be done over or out- lined after
turpentine dries.
Preplanning
Objectives :
To apply heat to wax, causing a melted effect.
To apply wax in layers, building one layer on another.
Materials :
Crayons (wax) paper; heat (light- ed candle, hair dryer or iron).
Preparation
Cover work area with newspaper. (If candle is used, set it in a jar lid and cover newspapers with foil. Each c 'd will need
crayons, paper and candle (or access to hair dry. er or iron).
Procedure
Using crayon, stick end into flame of candle just enough to melt. Use on paper immediately while still wet. Thick areas
may be built up by applying wax on wax impasto).
Hair dryer can be used to heat paper from under side, eng crayon areas to melt. In this technique. the paper. not
crayon is heated. An electric iron applied to under side will do the same.
PROJECT SUMMARY
Preplanning Objectives
to experience the spontaneous quality of melted crayon. to combine other media with
crayons (string, foil, tissue). Materials
crayons (wax), wax paper, grater for edge of scissors), iron, paper (construction or Manila),
string, plastic milk cartons. Preparation
Cover work area and ironing area with newspapers. Each child will need paper, (wax)
crayons, grater, string, bits of foil and tissue. Motivate
Procedure
Place wax paper or plastic wrap on work surface. Place crayon shavings on the paper. Use
shavings sparingly or colors will run together. Arrange string around the various color areas.
Bits of foil and colors of tissue can be added.
Place a second piece of wax on top and press gently with WARM iron. Crayons will bond
paper together. Stained glass window effect will be obtained.
String may be glued to edges and hung as mobiles.
Variation
Make a sketch with crayon on paper (construction, fingerpaint, butcher). Place crayon
shavings in the picture area of design. Use crayons spar ingly. Stay within outlines of sketch.
Place newsprint over sheet of shavings, Iron gently-WARM iron. Add more crayons and iron
again if needed.
