YAP III Painting Large and Painting Small

In January and February we painted! The museum preparators hung a piece of large canvas to the wooden corner wall and attached large paint brushes to long wooden dowels. We also attached some rollers that I bought at the dollar store to the dowels which were fun while they lasted.

When new colors were added Liz covered some of the piece with cardboard and paper which created texture and sound and also ensured that all the colors would be visible at the end.

When finished the canvases became part of the museum’s Sound Playground exhibit.

Painting small was painting with tempera paint on small canvases – long strips of webbing with small brushes – water color brushes. These turned out really well and we saved a lot of them for a possible future weaving project.

In January we put out my children’s books about color and in February the artist biographies.
