| Submitted by Judith Walsh, art teacher at Mt. Zion Elementary,
Suffolk,VA. 
Ages: Pre-K
MATERIALS:
White paper or paper plate, primary colors tempera paint in
bottles, Handi-Wrap.
Procedures:
This lesson is very quick and easy and the children love the outcome! I put the primary colors on the student's paper in little
puddles, about the size of a half dollar. Next, I put the Handi-wrap on
top of the paint. The students will then mix the colors together with
their fingers on top of the Handi-wrap, like finger painting without the
mess! The students will become amazed when they create greens and purples
and oranges that weren't there when they started! It's a great way to
teach them about color and they get to see the colors first hand by mixing
them themselves! When they are finished, I pull the
Handi-wrap off and
the painting is left to dry. They make wonderful abstract paintings and
the colors are great! Have Fun!
