When paint is involved, we dial up the excitement level. I wish I could say this happens in the art room, but I am on a cart and in the the rooms of classroom teachers. It's tough to hold the excitement to a low roar while attempting to keep some semblance of order and cleanliness in another teacher's room. I set up 3 stations for copper, silver, and gold metallic paint while the students patiently waited on the carpet. They went to town painting their papers and using the texture scrapers. We had controlled chaos while each child carefully carried each painted sheet outside the room to the drying rack. The next week students studied the textures in their art and added marker lines and shapes within the texture. Let the weaving begin! We had so much fun crumpling our paper to make even more texture and then wove our masterpieces! Only photographed one for some reason, but they looked fabulous lining the walls.
