Step-by-Step Instructions
The “what” of Painting with Water is quite simple, but the “how” is very important.
This is a sensory activity. Students can be encouraged to explore their paintbrushes and any other materials, including:
- paper (dry and wet)
- water bowls
- water
Ideally, paired students sit facing one another.
Each pair gets one paper to share. If students are able to navigate making a choice with their partner, let them choose between two or three colors.
Use shorter containers (such as bowls), as they tip over less frequently than tall containers (such as plastic cups).
Put water in containers. Put only a small amount of water, so that students will run out — this encourages communication, as they will need to ask for more.
Notice what happens when the water goes on the paper, and when it dries.
Hold papers up to the light, or put them against a window.
Play calming music while painting, if desired.
At some point in the process, have students rotate their paper so they are painting on a different part of it, where their partner may have been painting.
Some students will need to be prepped in advance for this part!
