Splatter Paint – in the style of Jackson Pollack, splatter painting. Remember the Splatterflies and Volcanoes? Examples in Let’s Start Art.

Blow Paint Tree –blow paint or India ink with a straw to make organic tree. Can add "pussywillows" or "cherry blossoms" using fingers, etc.

Textured Board – doing different thick textures on a canvas or board in different patterns. Uses a stucco like medium. Paint in vibrant colors. Divide board in quarters doing each differently.

Collage/Paint/Cutout – using bright colors, kids paint textures, stripes, etc. Then with a template cut out animals or figures from painted papers and compose a painting. From Let’s Start Art book.

Resist – We could do standard crayon and watercolor.

Texture Board – same idea as for younger children.

Water Color Technique Class – having the kids get comfortable with different techniques before they compose their painting.

Pop Art – From Paint It! Book – each child creates their own self-portrait in popart style. Maybe discuss current pop art.

Splatter Art – might be fun for them also. Just creating a canvas with splats of movement. Jackson Pollack.

Plexiglass Transfer – there was an interesting idea in Dick Blik using a transparent sheet. Kinda like plexiglass. They just painted right on it for a nice hanging. Good for windows.

Image transfer – would be a great idea but take two days.

Picture/Landscape – extend a picture or landscape. They take a cutout from magazine and finish the picture. Good for perspective.

Charcoal Rub Drawing – they take pieces of cut out cardstock and lay their paper over it. Using charcoal they rub and move shape over and over until page is full.

Positive/Negative Space – draw simple outline picture, cut out and split picture in half using 2 colors only.

Animal – maybe an easy draw animal. We can use fun colors?

M.C. Escher Project – uses silver scratch board. It is called world within a world. Sounds neat, have to make sure we can get the supplies. It is 3 layers of scratch board stacked with foam to give the depth.

Texture – kids do several textures with watercolor, then cut out shapes to create collage with their shapes. Similiar to painting project with animal cutouts.

Kimono Idea – having them paint different patters and cut out kimonos creating collage with kimonos and Japanese paper.

Moveable Figure – making a moveable figure with their own photograph and cut-outs from magazines. Held together with brads.

Koi – making a koi pond with paint textures and tissues.

Textures – collage with their own painted textures onto a canvas.
