Art Project Ideas:

• Outdoor painting project:  Order 18″ x 24″ canvas panels – 1 per kid.  Bring small dixie type paper cups for paint, paper plates for holding the cups, lots of tempura or acrylic paint, disposable paintbrushes, paper towels, and cleaning supplies.  Warn the kids that paint will stain.  Lay canvas panels in grass.  Fill small cups with paint.  Kids pick their colors and paint in a Pollock fashion – see How to paint like Jackson Pollock or this video.  Combine classes and get lots of time to do this – ideally 75 – 90 minutes.  This is a special end-of-elementary school project.  The kids will not forget this one.
