First and Second Graders Practice Painting

There are many things to remember when painting! Dip the brush in water, then into paint, wipe on the edge of container to get extra paint off, rinse after painting, then do it all over again.  The children did a great job of not contaminating paint with other colors, taking care of good quality brushes by not smashing them into paper, water, or paint, and carefully carrying bowls to the sink to change the water. They were very self sufficient and are developing a rhythm for painting.
