The Paint Rotation Method

Thanks to all my fellow art teachers for sharing their fabulous "Paint Rotation Method" on Tuesday's Inservice. We started working on Crabs inspired by Walter Anderson today and it worked like a charm.
If you aren't familiar with this painting method, just place ONE single paint color on each table (I used liquid watercolors). The group at the table has five minutes to paint any area with THAT ONE color. Then the group rotates to the next table carrying only their painting and their brush. We continued until each group had used all the colors. Fantastic. No mixed up paints, no spills, and no "Mrs. Cook! We need more blue!"
What a great idea. It makes life easier for the art teacher, and makes the student think seriously about how they want their artwork to look.
Thanks again Friends!
