Last week, we got messy and had some fun during a fall themed art project. We taped the edges of our paper to create a crisp white border on our pieces. Next, students taped a construction paper leaf into the middle of the paper and began splattering fall coloured paint on their paper. When their page was thoroughly covered/ we ran out of time (some students could have splattered forever!), I removed the leaf to reveal the leaf shape in white, creating negative space- an image created with missing space. Ironically, some students weren't messy enough hand their leaf shape did not stand out against the white paper. But fun and a (controlled) mess was created nevertheless!
