Secret 7 Melted Crayon Art

I identified in my research that I liked how there was lots of mixing together of colours in the music video for The Less I Know The Better and that I wanted to experiment with creating my own mixes. I  wanted to try something other than mixing paint as I wanted to be more original and try something that had a less glossy constancy. I decided to try melting crayon in different ways, as it would dry and become hard so I would be able to scan it to get a very clear image. Also it is more of a interesting feel and more moveable.

 I started by lining up crayons and melting them downwards with a hair dryer to create a dry effect. I also held them up and made them splatter. I picked black paper because I wanted a dark black background to fit with my Tame Impala theme. I then broke up the remaining crayons and put them in the oven to melt. It key some interesting swirling patterns which I tipped onto paper and left to dry and also what was left on the tin foil. I scanned them in and I plan to use them when creating my album cover.
