Project #4
Watercolor & Salt
In this project, we take advantage of the fact that salt eats up water creating a cool effect!
Supplies needed:
-Paintbrush
-Watercolor paint
-Water
-Paper (watercolor/textured paper preferably)
-Paper towel
-Salt
The salt is applied in areas that you’d like to create a spotted effect (for stars, sand etc.) Remember that it should be wet when the salt is applied so that the salt can soak up the water. Once the painting is dry gently take off the salt revealing the spotted effect. Enjoy ❤️
Project #5
Abstract Art
On White II by Wassily Kandinsky is a colorful and imaginative abstract painting on white canvas. This was Kandinsky's most famous painting where various abstract geometrical shapes were used to create a noticeable appearance.
Such an art piece can be created with different fabrics. You can use any extra clothing or different color paper. It’s your artwork and you can make it your own style! That’s the great thing about creating art!
Supplies needed:
-Glue
-Scissors
-Paper
-Fabrics (can be any scraps of clothing)
Here's an example of what can be done:
