WEEK TWO
ART IN PLAIN SIGHT


This week, we'll be painting and making marks with some of the items in our Explorer's boxes, as well as with found items in the woods, the park and in our own homes. We'll be experimenting and inventing our own brushes and inks, so let's get our explorer's caps on. Your newest art supplies might be hiding in plain sight!

BRUSHES FROM NATURE






ACTIVITY
What kind of mark does a brush make? Or a twig? What about a fork or a crumpled piece of paper? Use your favorite paint color to experiment and make marks in your sketchbook. Make notes on which brushes make which marks. Which handmade brush makes your favorite marks? Which makes the most surprising marks?
You can use the twig that is included in your Explorer's Box to start experimenting with natural brushes. Junior Explorers
