I wanted to give credit and now I know who to give it to YOU! Probably won't get to posting that project till Christmas break but at least I found where the idea came from!

I can't wait.<br /><br />You're a brave sole to host a whole class splatter paint. Maybe I'll have to try it. I usually put kids off by telling them "when the weather is warmer we'll do that", then pray they'll forget about it. Ditto when my older kids ask for finger painting...(I'm always thinking, please....I don't want to clean all that up).Barbara's Thought of the Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830012824003854839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443743422530475134.post-66965755997243355162010-10-28T23:24:09.716-04:002010-10-28T23:24:09.716-04:00Me again...

A quic...Me again... Christmas break - I'm in! <br />A quick word of explanation about my comment about "paying for it". I saw a DIFFERENT video (maybe it's at a link I didn't check) that was about a program you paid to bring to your school. Obviously (from your experience) we can do this ourselves!<br /><br />I've had a similar experience doing Pollock paintings with my 4th graders. The kids splattered and painted and worked as teams, skipping merrily around their tables as they splashed and dripped, and there wasn't a word of complaint about the 20 minutes of art time we had to devote to cleaning up!Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443743422530475134.post-89332395323672983122010-10-28T13:29:59.230-04:002010-10-28T13:29:59.230-04:00Thanks for all your kind comments, friends!

There are free downloaders available on-line. My suggestion....google it.<br />The kids had only one color paint, but they were free (and encouraged) to move around the table. I had a couple extra cups of paint for my second group, and they switched out a bit, but honestly, it became a bit of a distraction.<br />Phyl! Glens Falls! That's great. I lived in Washington County for a short while when I returned from Peace Corps and am somewhat familiar with that neck of the woods. Perhaps during Christmas break. I would love to meet you "in person".Barbara's Thought of the Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830012824003854839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443743422530475134.post-89486161683432426582010-10-28T12:51:00.137-04:002010-10-28T12:51:00.137-04:00Well, I'm inspired!

I've seen a video before, but wouldn't want to have to pay for it when we can do it ourselves. <br /><br />By the way - I'm in Glens Falls - and "doing lunch" sometime sounds like a fine idea!Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443743422530475134.post-29428910991670738102010-10-27T23:43:20.293-04:002010-10-27T23:43:20.293-04:00This is fascinating.

I have got to figure out how I can show the kids this video (we don't have YouTube access at school -- but I think there is a way) I would like to have a group do this focusing on balance of color in the whole work. If, in each group only one child has each color, they would have to move around (in and out of different parts of the circle) to achieve color balance in the whole work. Your results are lovely!!!Christie - Fine Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418114130566362780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443743422530475134.post-78672014411738296792010-10-27T19:54:54.980-04:002010-10-27T19:54:54.980-04:00Thanks for the shout out, Barb.
