What to do:
- using various
insect shapes, leaves, wings, etc., children spatter paint with assorted
colors of paint.
How to do it:
- cut out shapes
for silhouettes from cardboard (ie. chip box or cereal box or old
file folder)
- arrange shapes
on a pieces of paper
- using a nail brush
(or an old tooth brush) and an old large-sized comb (or a piece
of plastic craft mesh used in needle work), dip brush into paint and
proceed to rub it back and forth over comb so that paint "spatters"
over silhouettes and onto background paper leaving an outline of the silhouette
when shape is moved
- use different
colors, shapes, move shapes around paper to create interesting overlays
- WASH brushes in
warm sudsy water immediately after use
- dry in a bucket
with bristles up in air to prevent bending of brushes
- label work and
clean up
