After ripping up old paintings, old drawings, and scrap paper into tiny pieces, our 2nd graders began the process of making paper by hand. They began by soaking the paper until it turned into a pulp then formed a sheet on the screen, pressed it, and then let it dry. After a week they brought their paper-making project full circle by painting on their handmade recycled paper. It was a wonderful culmination, allowing them to appreciate the full process—from recycling to artistic expression! Now Enrolling! (fb)
