Straw painting
Before you start this project, cover your work area with layers of
newspaper. Cover yourself with an old shirt.
Materials
felt-tip pen
shelf paper
spoons (three)
straws (drinking)
tempera paints (three colors)
Use a spoon to place a drop of paint on a piece of shiny shelf
paper.Place one end of a drinking straw near the drop of paint. Blow
gently through the other end of the straw to spread out the paint.
Move the paper around as you blow. The paint will spread out in
different directions. Now place a few drops of the other colors on
the paper and blow them around.When you finish your picture, let it dry on a layer of newspaper.
Some of the blown designs may look like trees or animals. Draw
around these shapes with a felt-tip pen so they stand out.
