ROY G BIV and Bubble Prints

Students this week are learning about the colors of the rainbow and ROY G BIV. The only color the students are not using is indigo, since I do not have that color available. Students are creating bubble prints. Each table is set up with the coordinating color of paint (i.e. red table has all red paint, etc.).


Students each get their own straw and they are blowing into the paint/soap mixture to create bubbles. Once they have a good amount of bubbles, they take their paper and press it over the top. When the paper is lifted, a print of the bubbles is on the paper. So many oos and aahs were said today. When I ring the bell, the students rotate to the next table taking their straw and paper with them.


The papers look really cool right now. I was planning on the students making a drawing over the top in another art class, but I might change my mind with how neat the papers are looking.


Unfortunately, Friday classes will not get to do this lesson since they do not have school. :-(
