supplies watercolors paint brushes white paper steps These steps are adapted from Cut your white paper into smaller pieces. We split ours into fourths so we ended up with four 6 inch x 4.5 inch pieces per sheet of construction paper. Take one piece of your cut construction paper and crumple it up into a ball. Choose one color and use it to  Gently unfold it, and see how it looks. Press it down gently. Crumple it up again, and paint it with another color. Gently unfold it and press it down.

supplies  paper pencil, marker, and/or crayon circle stencil about the size of a toilet paper roll (A jar lid would be good too.) steps  Use your circle stencil to draw about 9 circles on your paper. Make each circle into a different type of face. This project came from The Art Room .

supplies  white (or light-colored) paper crayons watercolors paintbrush steps  Pick three bright crayons and make a dot in the middle of your paper with one of them. Make a swirl from the dot to the edge of the page.  Using another color, add another swirl from the dot to another edge of the page.  Using your last color, add your last swirl to a third edge of the page.  Scribble back and forth on your first line with the same color that you used to draw it. Press hard with your crayons to make the color extra bright.  Scribble all the way to the end. It looks nicest if you scribble wider at the end. Scribble on the other two lines as well.  Paint over your picture with black watercolor.  Project, instructions, and images from Miss Young's Art Room .
