Homeschool art project" Turning newsprint into Christmas wrap

Katie spray painted some Christmas Bats

Patrick and his Jackson Pollack-like creation (AFTER Buddy did his. I was scrubbing the back wall by this time from Buddy's enthusiasm. The splatter boards weren't tall enough for Buddy's strokes)

Emily's spray painted box and pretty bow made from pre-spray painted newspaper, spot painted in gold and red. Dana taught us how to make the bows.

Dana stamped boxes and later you will see how she finished them



Rachel and Nick getting started on boxes they brought.


Darienne and me. She chose a ready-painted background to work with.

Mattison chose a rose, silver and gold ready to paint background and added LOTS of orange! She had fun.

Intense concentration required. Bandana required, also.
