Natural Inks and Paints

Have you ever thought about what might be in the art supplies you’re using?
Is it toxic? Is it safe? Are they expensive? Do some research on the internet and see if anything surprises you.

Today you can experiment with creating 3 different inks/paints from home!

You will create an “experiment” sheet that is clearly labelled with the inks/paints you have created. Some items could be harmful to pets, be sure to check with your parents/guardians.

Here is a video on how to make natural paints!

Other things you can use are: Coffee, Spices (Tumeric, Paprika), Old Makeup, Tea, Food Colouring, Beets, Berries, Red Cabbage, Flower Petals, Leaves, Bark, Onion Skins, Dirt, Peels (Avocado, Orange)

On a piece of paper, create a grid with at least 3 rows and 3 columns. 
Fill in your grid and clearly label the materials you used!
Maybe even try using 1 or more of your homemade brushes/tools.
