I need reminding myself! ...You're most welcome. I need reminding myself! In wanting to provide the best opportunities possible for our children including a prime education, we often get lost in the nowadays "normal but not healthy" pattterns. In allowing wisely guided personal choices initiated by my children, I believe long term life skills and a rewarding sense of fulfillment will be some of the results.<br /><br />We used brayers to produce such effects on the art paper. First, we put (in random fashion) dollops of various colored tempera paint all over the paper and then E simply rolled over them with his brayers until the paper was covered and colors mixed in the process. Better results with acrylic paint. Another way, with much credit to Eric Carle, as we drew inspiration from his illustrations, is to spread a quite thick layer of paint (can be a mix of colors over the paper, covering it in entirety and then run a fork through in whatever way you please - zig-zag, straight, weave, etc. or you can make your very own comb patterns by cutting cardboard pieces in various desired "teeth" patterns and comb it through the paint covered paper. Hope my explanation is clear. It is a truly fun activity to create various paper patterns and then use these papers as supplies to create a collage! Have fun!!Phebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15851452399223285900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423943841046418780.post-61812498744282573912009-12-09T20:30:37.777-08:002009-12-09T20:30:37.777-08:00Yes, you are so right.
