Mon - "self-portraits with a long stick"
#3 from teacher guide for Make Meatballs Sing
They loved this! It took about 45 minutes. They went outside to get their long sticks. I put acrylic ink in several colors into foam egg cartons cut into thirds (4 cups in each). They got two large sheets of construction paper apiece, one for practicing and one for the self portrait. Children worked in pairs and shared the egg cartons. Newpaper down first, then the two piles of construction paper with the ink in between. After they were done the ink-y sticks went straight back outside. Art on the drying rack. It worked so well!
