What you need:
- Black permanent markers
- White paper
- Streamers
- Thick paint brushes
- Water pots
How to:
- Ask the children to draw themselves
- Let them have several attempts so you can choose the best one. Encourage them, telling them to draw eyebrows, hair, etc....
- Next give them another piece of paper
- Hand out pieces of streamer, water pot and paint brush
- Demonstrate how to lay streamer on paper, apply water by dabbing on top of streamer and leave for a while before removing streamer to see bled colour underneath
- Keep them going until most of their paper is covered by colour
- Some children love this process so I just keep giving them more paper and let them do several if they wish
- Cut out portrait and glue to bleeding streamer background when it is dry
The Results:
Cheers
