Scrape Art!

This week while continuing with our Harvest Theme we painted with fruits and vegetables. We all had a great time, creating beautiful pieces of art that are hanging in our meeting room!

NKOA members Ari, Bryar, and Talazen naturally progressed into finger painting and enjoyed rubbing the paint all over their papers. Talazen picked up a slice of green pepper and SCRAPED the excess paint off her paper. A simple thing to do but what was discovered has now been coined Scrape Art!

After scraping off the excess paint, the paper underneath had absorbed different colors in different spots to create an amazing tie dyed look. Ari's eyes popped open when she saw Talazen's paper, she then scraped her paper with a mushroom, then Bryar took notice of Ari's work and did the same thing using a string bean! They were very joyous and proud of their creations, each being different from the next because of their color choices!

Scrape Art can be used to create stationary that has your own flair!

Here is how they did it & how it looked:

~Use white, acid free, card stock paper.

~Finger paint or brush on lots of different colors onto the paper, cover the entire surface and use enough so that there is a thin layer of paint floating around on the sheet. (we used Tempera paints)

~Use any object with an edge to gently scrape the excess paint off...be ready for a great surprise each time!

~Let the paper dry.

Enjoy!

Thanks to Ari, Bryar & Talazen! :)
