2) Set up the following 6 art stations (3 stations/day): *spin art (can buy at Five Below) *Bubble painting (mix dish soap, water, and paint) *coffee filter and food coloring (coffee filters and food coloring) <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">*marble painting (shoebox & marbles) <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">*pipe cleaner painting (pipe cleaners) <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">*comb painting (different combs)

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">3.)Begin each "painting day" by showing step-by-step directions of what students will do at each station (I created an e-beam scrapbook page including pictures of each step)

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">4.) Take pictures while students paint.

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">5.) Have students cut and rip their finished textured paintings to make a picture or several pictures.

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">6.) Have students share the papers (or scraps) they don't use with their peers.

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">7.) Write about the pictures they made OR write about the painting process. Students can type their stories and attach them to their pictures. || <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Review how to switch stations smoothly. ||
 * ~ Hints for YOU: || <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Test all painting methods before you try this with your students. For instance, there are different directions for bubble painting available online---try them out and see which works best for you.
