Open Ended Art - Fall Colors - Glue Prints

(click on picture to enlarge)

This project takes two days.

Materials:

liquid glue
cardboard (we used a cereal box)
tempera paint
paintbrushes
paper

Directions:
First, make a glue pattern on a piece of cardboard.
Let the glue dry overnight.
Paint over the glue pattern.
Lay a sheet of paper over the painted cardboard
and rub all over the paper.
Lift off your sheet and voila!

I love the textured look it gave the painting.
And of course, the purple one isn't really Fall colors.
