For my second challenge, I decided to do meted crayon art. The materials I used for this project were a canvas, crayons, a glue gun, and a blow dryer. For the process, the first thing I did was sort crayons out in the order I wanted. Then, I used a hot glue gun to glue the crayons on the canvas. The last thing I did was blow dry the crayons to melt them. The part i enjoyed the most was melting the crayons with the blow dryer because I liked seeing the melted crayon run down and off the canvas. A technique I used for this is to hold the dryer straight down on top of the crayons instead of holding the dryer horizontally straight forward onto the canvas. When I held the dryer horizontally, the crayon splattered all over the place other than running straight down. I think I would add a quote at the bottom to add something a bit more. When I was using the blow dryer to melt the crayons, my mom said don't over do it. I think that would be a good message.
