FINGER PAINTING inspired by Eugene Von Bruenchenhein

Students use their fingers and at least two other household tools to create colorful, textured paintings that show a place they visit in their imagination. Students learn about color relationships, and use at least three colored paints and at least three different scraping tools (including their fingers) to create a unified composition. Students will complete their piece by adding their “Artist’s Signature,” otherwise known as their name. Students will verbally share about the places they have created, and how the shapes, colors, and textures in their composition create a sense of place within each painting.
