Project: Chagall Watercolor Mug
About the artist:(1885-1985) Marc Chagall was born in Russia. He had 9 brothers/sisters. They were Jewish so they had to change their last name from Shagal to Chagall. Marc Chagall and his family were in extreme danger following Hitler’s invasion of France during World War 2. Not only were they Jewish, but Chargall’s well-known artwork was inspired by his Jewish upbringing. He moved to the US in 1941 with his family. He drew from memories to fantasy. I am the Village is one of his most well know paintings. The large green face on the right and the horse on the left are very recognizable.

Chagall Watercolor Mug:
1. Tear pieces of different colors of tissue paper. You want the jagged edges.
2. Apply a thin coat of modge podge to your mug. We did this a little at a time so it doesn't dry before you stick paper to it.
3. Place tissue paper on the modge podge. Repeat.
4. Coat the top of the tissue paper with another layer of modge podge.
5. Make sure you don't apply paper along the edge of the mug. Leave about an inch or so, so you have a place to sip from.
6. Voila! A Tissue Paper Mug inspired by Marc Chagall.
