The Artists


While we lived in China, Rachel loved making abstract paintings and did several large paintings for her IB Art class where she danced to music on the paper. Nicole always thought that was cool so she wanted to do a similar painting. We got the supplies and set this up on our roof terrace. They put on old clothes, music and got to dancing. Fortunately the roof already had paint spots all over so we weren't too worried about it getting all over.
Good thing we used acrylic paint that can easily wash off because they were covered by the time they finished.

Vika made a smaller version. They both picked out their favorite colors and just had fun splattering and dancing around.
It was a very windy dusty day so there probably is some sand stuck in the paint but that just adds to the originality.
Nicole's is now hung above the beds in her room. It is about 4' x 5'. Not sure if we can get a frame that large, so for now it is taped to the wall.
Vika's masterpiece is about 2' x 3' and is hung above her bed in her room.

This is a close up of Nicole's painting.

It was a fun girl's activity and now they have some fun cool original art in their rooms.
