Texture painting!!
For our painting session we decided to try combining some kitchen ingredients into paint for free exploration and to see what effect each would have on the texture created. Into some bowls we collected salt, flour, glitter and white glue. We could also have used sawdust, glitter, soil, sand, crushed cereal, shredded paper, shampoo etc. and perhaps we will next time we try this!
The paints were wonderfully tactile to touch, stir and paint with and each material was quite different in the effect it produced. They adhered to the paper in a very satisfying way and I imagine they would work well with recycled cardboard materials if making a textured paint sculpture too.
Running our fingers over the surface when they were dry felt lovely and gave some opportunities for some rich, descriptive language.
