PRESENTATION OUTLINE

STYROFOAM

BY EMMA AND PAPA

My Papa is a retired mail man and now does styrofoam art for proms, party's, weddings, functions. He even decorated for the Kansas City Music Hall

In order to make his art, he first has to find the picture he wants. Since he is not a drawing artist, he finds artwork online or takes pictures someone else took.

He then traces the picture/artwork from an overhead on to an 8 by 4 piece of styrofoam or sometimes bigger.

Next, he cuts out his picture using a jigsaw. This is the messiest part because the little bits get EVERYWHERE.

He then paints it. And while it is still wet, puts a LOT of glitter on it. He loves glitter.

But why use styrofoam? Papa uses styrofoam so it's big and he can hang it. Plus it is something most people don't think of
