Painted Paper

It's always a good idea to keep a stock of hand painted paper in the art room. It comes in handy for collage projects, especially those with an Eric Carle theme. It is super messy and be prepared to have insufficient drying racks, but oh my, the kids LOVE it! 

I made painted paper with Grade 1 but the idea is flexible and can be changed to suit all age groups.

Materials required:
- A4 paper
- paints
- large paint brushes
- stamping & texture making tools

Duration: 1 lesson of 80 minutes

I followed the complete instructions by Patty Palmer on Deep Space Sparkle. Thank you so much for your guidance! I even did the set-up exactly the way she did including the demonstration so the whole process went smoothly. The only thing I did differently was to let the kids paint two papers simultaneously.

The steps are simple. First the kids paint a base colour. Second they make patterns with a brush. Third, they use texture tools to make patterns.
Step 3: Students using a variety of texture tools
Don't the finished papers look gorgeous?
