This week in the art studio, we explored crayon resist. I explained to the children what materials we would be using- white crayons, watercolor paper, and liquid watercolor.
They were asked to draw a picture on the white paper using white crayon. Some of them were very disappointed that they could not see their pictures on the paper but I asked them to keep drawing. A surprise would be revealed during the next step.
Once they had finished drawing, I put out the watercolor paint, As they painted, they began to see where the crayon wax was resisting the paint and an image was beginning to appear. As they added more and more paint, the children were thrilled to see the surprises on their paper as their pictures were revealed.
