Acrylic Painting Of Candle Flames Art Project
Art Medium: Acrylic paints & glass collage
Grades: Kg -12
Ages: All
About this project: Before teaching acrylic painting, I like to refer to the book The Complete Drawing and Painting Course by Sterling Publishing Co. Inc. Before doing the painting below, we lit a candle and did a warm-up picture with soft pastels to get the feeling of the movement of the flame. It's important that an adult is supervising when a candle is lit, and that matches are put away.
Materials needed:
Directions:
Part l:
This is a nice project to do at a Hanucha party, or a nice idea for a Hanucha party invitation. For other Jewish art projects, I refer to the book 100+ Jewish Art Projects for Children, by Nina Streisand Sher and Margaret A. Feldman.

Materials needed:
- Soft oil pastels Paper (35x50cm)
- Acrylic paints Canvas (35 x 50cm)
- Paint brushes Palette (or throw away plastic plate)
- Paper towels
- Container for water
- Colorful glass pieces Chipped pieces of mirror UHU all purpose glue
Directions:
Part l:
- Light candle
- Draw the movement of the flames with soft pastels.
- We chose yellow, orange, pink and red
- Think about the concepts of over and under.
- We repeated the contour with lines of several colors.
- Choose one color for the background.
- Light the candle
- Using a light pastel color, draw the shapes of the flames on the canvas
- Select the colors you want to work with.
- We used white, yellow, orange, pink, red and salmon
- With small children, I use a different paint brush for each color.
- We used gold paint for the background.
- Play around with small pieces of glass and mirror on the dry canvas
- We made the shapes of lit candles
- When you like the way it looks, glue the pieces down with a clear glue

Silk Painted Talit Jewish Art Activity
Painted Silk Talit
Art Medium: Silk painting and sewing
Grade: 6 – 12
Ages: 11 and up
About this project: Silk painting is a wonderful way to play with color and get exciting results. This project takes three one-hour sessions. I recommend the book Silk Painting for Beginners by Concha Morgrades
to get a good background of various techniques that can be applied to this project.
Materials needed:
Part l: - Stretch the small piece of silk on it’s frame and pin into place. - Decide on the colors you want to experiment with. - See how they blend, what happens when they are watered down, and the effects of sprinkling salt on them.
Part ll: - Sketch out any designs you may have in mind. - Stretch out silk on large frame - Begin working on the talit. - Let dry overnight. - Brush off excess salt.
Part llI: - Sew the edges of the talit. Make sturdy button holes in which to tie the fringe. You may want to write the blessing for putting on a talit around the collar
Jewish Art Project Ideas: When designing this project and you’re looking for beautiful images to include, I recommend looking at the work of Marc Chagall. The book Getting to Know the World’s Greatest Artists – Marc Chagall, by Mike Venezia
can be helpful. If you’re looking for other Jewish art projects, you may want to refer to the book 100+ Jewish Art Projects for Children by Nina Streisand Sher and Margaret A. Feldman. Many girls have enjoyed making their own talit for their Bat Mitzvah’s. Have fun with this art project!
