Splatter Space Picture


Splatter Space Picture

A space picture featuring an alien
Make a space picture and put your own little alien in it.

What to do:

Step 1

Part 1
Gather together all the things that you need to make the Space Skittles. Then put on the apron and put some old paper or newspaper down as this make can be messy! Then mix some white paint with a little bit of water. Do the same with yellow paint and red paint to make three different runny paint mixtures. Don't forget to give them all a good stir.

Step 2

Part 2
Lay the black paper flat. This is the messy bit! Now take the old tooth brush and put it into the white paint mixture. Take the piece of card and now hold the toothbrush at the bottom of the paper and with the card, scrape towards you. Keep going until the black paper is covered in splatters. Then leave it to dry.

Step 3

Part 3
Take the piece of brown paper and start ripping out lumpy crater shapes. Put the crater shaped paper on top of your splattered piece of black paper. Then add some extra details with a black pen.

Step 4

Part 4
To add the extra planets in the background just splatter some red and orange paper with the red and yellow paint. Then draw around a circular object and cut it out. Be careful as scissors are very sharp. Do this as many times as you like, depending on how many planets you would like in your picture.

Step 5

Part 5
Now it's time to draw your alien. It can look however you would like it to. Then paint it and cut it out, being careful as scissors are sharp. When the paint has dried you can draw around your alien with a black pen. Place your alien on the picture poking up from behind one of the craters. Then glue everything down.
This should take about 15 mins
