Rainbow Canvasses

I haven’t posted in a few weeks as I have been setting up some longer term gardening projects. We have had a bit of fun mixing colours for this art project.

Things you will need:

10 cm triangle canvasses
Red, blue, yellow and white acrylic paint
variety of brushes
clear glue
Rainbow coloured embellishments (gems, beads, pompoms etc…)

Instructions:

Mix the desired colour of paint first. Then, on a tray, mix in a gradient of white paint to get different shades of the colour. Painted each of the canvasses a different rainbow colour, using different shades with different brushes.

Let the canvasses dry.

Using the clear glue, attach matching coloured embellishments to each canvas.

What the kids can do:

I helped mixing the paint colours, but Miss 5 did all of the painting and decided where to stick the embellishments.
