Today we worked together to create a background for a class art project.

We had to cover the stage with lots of newspaper before we taped a big bit of black paper to the floor. We soaked pieces of kitchen towel in watered down bright paint and took turns throwing it at the black paper to create a splatter effect. The paper towels look like firework explosions.

We finished it off by using paintbrushes dipped in the paint again to add more splatter. We are going to make firework rockets in class tomorrow to add to our lovely background.
