I think as adults and teachers we tend to want to save 'special' materials for just the right project almost like one would save a piece of jewelry or clothing for a special occasion. Why not enjoy the materials and the experience. The children's final art pieces are beautiful and I can imagine them displayed in your school and enjoyed by all. You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your stories!<br /><br />Peace!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11530080925040791624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-19219119245601108702011-05-20T17:37:39.094-07:002011-05-20T17:37:39.094-07:00They're beautiful Tom!

I'm certainly no artist but I have managed to come up some nice effects of my own on canvas where as with paper I'm useless!<br />Donna :) :)<br />BTW I didn't know your mountains looked blue in the distance too. Here ours are blue because of the eucalyptus oil in the gum leaves ... or so I've been lead to believe my whole entire life. Might have to challenge my Mum about that one! =)Play for Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08475920387209134195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-78543175245827826562011-05-20T08:16:02.230-07:002011-05-20T08:16:02.230-07:00Hmm.

Or I wonder if I could cheat and buy drop cloths at Home Depot?michellelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916465318624376134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-65015204892763290472011-05-19T11:44:28.537-07:002011-05-19T11:44:28.537-07:00I love this.

When you think things through, Tom, we all do too.

Like you said, never could afford canvas. Did you you Biocolor on the canvas? Been looking at the local Anthropology Store lately and love their displays. Ours recently had batik squares cut and sewn together in the corners and hanging straight down in long columns. MIght be an interesting way to hang them. Looking at wet on wet adding colors to fabric like dyes. I'm thinking each would be a different tone. Oh, the possibilities.....Kathy Engelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-59483102377521140692011-05-18T09:58:39.341-07:002011-05-18T09:58:39.341-07:00As a painter and former preschool teacher, I would...As a painter and former preschool teacher, I would love to see how the kids would work together on squares; perhaps two per larger square. These are great by the way.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09498389839792037949noreply@blogger.com
