Reverse Clouds

I was in charge of helping the kids paint blue. Now mind you, these kids are 3 and 4 years old. Some, I think have never painted before. I protected them with a paint smock and put the paper down in front of them, gave them a paint brush and then I just squirted blue on the page. Dark, lite and a little bit of white. They loved it. Some even used their hands. Some kids painted their hair, their faces, even the table. I was the only one to get paint on my clothes and it was the last kid to paint that did it. 16 kids, one at a time, and we got a reverse cloud effect. These pieces of art have been trimmed and mounted on black paper and hung on the walls of the class. It was and exciting day, this day of "blue."
