Japanese Kites - Art Club

What do we do in Art Club? Well we want to inspire students to learn. This lesson was about Japanese culture by making fun windsocks. These windsocks / kites can be decorated using watercolor diffusing techniques or almost any medium. Just add a string and hang for a colorful display. This time we chose to use watercolor and salt for a cool reaction!

 Here is another link to where we have blogged on this before:

Love the salt reaction with the water color!

This lesson is always very successful!
