This week's theme for Open Ended Art was "black and white".
For Kim and Luke, I simply opened a big package of different types of paintbrushes, handed out black construction paper and poured out the white tempra paint.
Kimmy was eager to get started and wanted the BIGGEST paintbrush.
I had hoped they would explore the other brushes, but for them, it seems that the bigger the better!
Kimmy really painted white--a lot of white--we couldn't see any black when she was finished.
For Gracie, I sent her out to find some nice autumn leaves to go along with her white paint and black paper.
She did exactly what I hoped she would do.
She painted one of the leaves, "spilling" paint over onto the paper. This made a great leaf shadow. She then turned the leaf over and used it to stamp the leaf onto the paper.
It turned out great!
It was a good thing that Kim and Luke were using the big brushes because they really liked to cover a lot of paper with paint.
Notice both of their pictures above--they said that they were making ghosts for halloween.
Kimberly then continued with her painting to paint her hands and then "wash" them with a little more paint. (Washing her hands in unusual substances is becoming a "thing" with her lately)
Here she made Dora the Explorer and some friendly ghosts.
Mommy's open ended art was inspired by Gracie!
A table full of finished artwork. Notice that we ran out of black paper and I had to get out the blue!
