HELP: ART STUDENTS: Foil and tracing technique?

Hello, my friend wants to make something for her boyfriend and I suggested a two things I did in photography class in high school but I can't remember what the processes are called.The first one we did was taking a piece of cardboard, putting items on it, and covering it with heavy duty aluminum foilThen we toke a penny and traced over the areas where the objects were and pressed down the other pieces of the paper.The second one was where we toke tracing paper and traced over a picture of our choice with pencil, then we flipped the tracing paper and traced the other side with the pencilWe then flipped the paper back over and pressed the reverse side of the tracing paper to a poster board and traced the image on the poster board at different anglesAfterwards, we colored the images in.Does anyone know where I can get some photos or videos of these processes to show her? What are the names of these processes?Thank you!!

Answer:

it's sounds like the first process was a relief capture, I'd just search for aluminum foil relief art in order to find out more about it, I've also included a link to a website i think might have what you're looking forthe second project is a tracing paper transfer, I couldn't find any online tutorials but i did find a a demo for how to transfer a drawing onto cloth which is the same basic ideait's the second linkhope these help!!
Suppose you had a water clock.would heating the temperature of the water affect the time? Use a heating element (such as that used to heat coffee in a cup) to heat the water, or suppose the water were replaced by a different liquid? Remember the viscosity.
Take two pieces of aluminum sheetPaint one black, leave the other untouched (silver)Put a frozen hamburger patty on eachExplain why the patty on the black painted aluminum sheet thaws faster than the other.
