Paper, but Not Watercolour Paper

Is It Wise? by Renata Wright

We had a bit of fun in class last night (well, I like to think we have fun in all of my classes but last night was a bit different). I asked students to paint on a music sheet or page from a book instead of the usual watercolour paper. It was quite a challenge because depending on the type of paper we chose, it was prone to buckling, tearing, and blurring. But we soldiered on and I must say it was so much fun that I think I’ll do it again sometime. For my piece I chose a page from a school book about grammar and then painted an owl on it (wise owl – get it)?

I’ve added some photos of what students painted too. How clever are they? Well done to all. 🙂
