What to do:
- using various
tree or leaf shapes, children spatter paint with autumn colors of paint
.
- 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
