Salt Painting

For this activity we used: salt, white glue, water colours, paintbrushes, bowl, cardboard papers, water. Instructions: Lay your paper and pour white glue onto your page. You could draw a picture or simply make patterns and shapes. Go wild and cover as much of the page as possible for maximum effect. Pour table salt over the glue. Be generous. You don’t want to skimp on the salt here. Once you have covered all the glue with salt, lift up the page and shake off the excess salt. Shake it into the bowl so that you can recycle the salt for your next picture.Dip your paintbrush into the watercolour paints, then to te water and drop some colour onto the salt. You only need to drop a little colour in one spot. You are not actually brushing the colour over the page with the brush. Then sit back and watch the colour spread and run along the lines of salt. Make the photos while wet because these pictures are not built to last. The salt will crumble and fall off the page as it dries.
