The BIG Paint!

The materials for our Jackson Pollock kickstarter project arrived in a huge truck today!!  The palette weighed over three hundred pounds.  Luckily the delivery man rolled it right into the garage!  I could hardly wait for the Baila to get home so we could test out the paints and the canvas. 

Baila was really excited […]

More abstract art!

Today we completed our second to last project in our abstract expressionism unit!  We created paintings using enamel paint floating on water.  This technique creates an amazing marbleized pattern that had the kids gasping in delight!  Each child created a unique print and we were all thrilled to see the finished prints!

Homemade Chalk!

This is DIY art material week at our house!  Today I tried making chalk using plaster of paris and paint.  I used an ice cube tray and they popped right out when the plaster hardened!  Baila tried a piece on the front porch tonight and it was great!  She wrote a huge “I love you!”
