"I Ain't Gonna Paint No More..

One of my favorite books for Preschool is "I Ain't Gonna Paint No More".  It does not seem like a book an art teacher would read, but it is pretty silly and has fun rhymes.  The little kid paints his entire self!  The kids enjoy guessing the rhymes and repeating the "Ain't gonna paint no more" theme. 

To create the art project, the students drew a self-portrait using Sharpie Markers.  They were encouraged to add patterns with the markers.  They used watercolor to paint themselves and the surrounding area.  The wilder, the better!

 

I love how she filled the page, and even painted her hair purple.

 

Maybe she painted a beard on herself?
