Kid Art: Textured Paintings - caricoevelf1974

I have always likeable the calculate of chunky paint applied to canvas in swirls (a la Vincent Van Gogh), but most kiddie paints aren't capable of making that sort of texture. Enter a secret menag ingredient that you mix into your paint that takes IT from runny to chunky in ten seconds! What is this secret ingredient? Flour! Adding flour to rouge adds proportion to kid art, and is diverting to apply.

Project Materials:

• Washable paint
• White flour
• Popsicle sticks
• Small containers to mix paint in
• Paper or recycled cardboard to paint happening
  

To Mix Paint:

Adding flour to your washable paint is simple. Just use a undersized container like a newspaper cup, add a bit of flour (start with a teaspoon and add more as desired) and some paint. Add more paint if mixture is too thick. Mix with a popsicle get. The popsicle stick will too double as your "palette knife" for applying the thick blusher to your surface.

What to Paint:

My son is not quite three, only he is competent to paint inside the lines (mostly) of pre-printed coloring pages, and that's what he wanted to do with this paint. Depending on your child's age, they can use their fingers OR the popsicle cleave to apply the paint.  Of row, painting connected blank paper is also a great theme, and one that most kids will savour. Experienced kids might like to choose an "inspiration" picture show–it privy be anything from a fine art house painting of Vincent van Gogh's to a photograph of an elephant at the zoological garden) and recreate it exploitation the chunky paint. I painted the image in the top photo because my son enjoys art time a lot more than when I am participating too!

We painted connected plain paper and construction paper, but you might want to use a small-arm of recycled cardboard (the privileged of a cereal box would work fountainhead!) because this paint is heavier than regular paint.

If you are homeschooling, this is a great activity for an art unit happening Impressionism.
