Pulled Paint Castles

Sixth graders created these pulled paint castles using acrylics and mat board. They then went back with permanent markers and pens to add details. Enjoy!!

  1. These are great! Did the students use the mat board instead of a brush to apply the paint?

    Thanks,

  2. Yes students pulled the paint staggering the heights and we then went back in with black marker to add details. Students loved these!
