Art~ Week 5

This week in art we made paint!
The Carmelites, Dominicans, and Franciscans made their own paint using dried earth pigments, egg yolks, and water.

After they were done making their paint, the children were able to paint!

The Benedictines created a beautiful cross.

The were given blue and yellow paint to use. The painted over a cross made from painter's tape. While painting with the blue and green paint, they mixed the colors and created green! When their paintings were dry, we peeled the cross off the paper and a beautiful, white cross appeared. The children had a wonderful time painting and their two helpers did a fantastic job helping all of those little hands!
