What could be more fun than dripping paint, blowing it, pouring on salt and sticking on bubble wrap! This is the kid friendly way that KDH worked cooperatively to create a color masterpiece to auction off at the
Main Event.
It actually started quite a while back. We put out paint one morning with paper and straws. The children picked colors and dripped the paint on their paper, and then blew the paint across their individual papers. They colors mixed and new colors were created. Then the children took foam circles and made large circles of color and used bubble wrap to make smaller groups of circles. They experimented with kosher salt and our fake snow to see what kind of other textures were emerge after that dried.
When the paintings had dried we put them all up together, to create one large painting on our bulletin board. That is one way to create cooperative art. Individual art is beautiful but put it all together and it becomes, "Wow!"
For the Main Event the children wanted to do something more collaborative. We bought a large piece of cotton paper and the children all excitedly asked for their turns to be apart of this wonderful masterpiece that emerged right in front of them!
