Cave paintings

This project was fast, easy and fun.  The teachers mixed paint with mud to create colorful mud.  They already had paper bags cut up and scrunched up.  They showed us a PowerPoint of cave paintings and their history.  We had to think of a favorite memory from our past.  That is what we were to paint on the paperbags.  I chose to paint a picture of my sister and I playing volleyball in the backyard.  We could only use our fingers to paint.  Once we finished our painting, we added leaves or sticks to our picture.
The teacher will find a book about cave paintings.  They will read the book as a class.  The students will create one big cave painting as a class.  They will use colored mud paint and only use their hands to paint with.  They will also use natural elements to add to the picture once the painting is finished.
