Melted Crayon Art

Look what a hair blow dryer and crayons can do! 

Amazing results! 

I found this idea on Pinterest, my new obsession.  I took crayons and hot glued them to the top of a canvas.  I used a hair blow dryer to heat up the wax in the crayon, which resulted in the wax melting and dripping onto the canvas.  The students and I worked on this project all week and our collaborative art piece is now hanging on display in the art room.  This is something that could be done fairly easily at home because all you need is crayons, glue, and a hair dryer.  I already had one student tell me that they tried doing this at home on black paper instead of white, which sounded interesting.
