March Art

During the month of March, Casa East engaged in process-oriented artwork. In honour of St. Patrick’s Day, we painted cardstock with blue and yellow tempera paints. Once dry, we squeezed wet glue from a squeeze bottle onto our paper. Finally, we sprinkled gold glitter on top of the wet glue. For Easter, we used water and a paint brush to wet an egg shape on cardstock. Then, we placed a variety of different coloured tissue paper onto the wet cardstock, causing the tissue paper to stick to the cardstock. After all the water evaporated, we peeled off the now dry tissue paper and discovered the colours had transferred onto the cardstock in a less vibrant, more pastel shade.
