Big Messy Art: Paint on the Walls!

BIG MESSY ART! Make it Bigger - Paint the Walls with Muse of the Morning

Ok, ok… not actually the walls. Or maybe the walls. We painted on the fence, but this could easily be done on the side of your house or on the side of a shed.

This project is for the series of BIG! MESSY! Art Projects for Kids that I’m doing this week. It’s Big! And messy!

For this art, you’ll need a big roll of paper. This roll of Kraft Paper is perfect. You can also find rolls of white paper at Staples.
You’ll also need these things:
some spill-proof paint cups
washable paints
big paintbrushes

I taped a length of paper to the fence with masking tape. It seemed to work, but I think a staple gun would work better. I set the paints up on an upside down bucket and walked away. I didn’t mention anything to the kids.

After a few minutes, the kids discovered what I had set up and got right to work.

Unlike the last big painting project, Lil’Miss worked more on an abstract painting with some paint splatters and marks all over.

I love this pic of Mister Man- the hand on the hip… so much concentration!
