Hey, friends!
If you are looking for a fun painting project that encourages artists to consider the idea of giving thanks, then have I got one for you! I created this lesson for my friends at Prang and I used some specific supplies BUT this lesson can easily be adapted to what you have on hand. So, let’s talk about it! For this lesson, I used:
* Paintbrushes and a cup of water.
* Chalk for drawing. Select a light color like yellow, peach or light blue that can easily be erased with a tissue if need be.
Now, one thing I was not expecting was how long it took the ink to dry on the panel before I could start painting. Just a heads up that you’ll want to make sure that the ink is totally dry before painting as it could smear.
However, if you are using the bingo dauber on paper, it will dry immediately. So you should be in good shape!
When I have done a similar lesson with students in the past, a few didn’t understand the concept of making the letters stretch. The reason we do this is to create separate shapes that students can fill with color. You might want to make sure they have your stamp of approval before going over their chalk lines with ink.
Okay, here’s the lesson:
Have fun!
Now, stay tuned. I have a couple of variations of this lesson coming soon. Until then!
