Bleeding Tissue with Kitah Alef

This week Kitah Alef was presented with half sheets of watercolor paper, circles of bright tissue paper, cups of water, and paint brushes

There were several different sizes of tissue circles. The children selected the circles that they liked best and laid them out on their paper.

The children dipped their paint brushes and painted the circles with water. This caused the color to bleed through to the paper beneath leaving a bright, circular stain.

Some circles overlapped, causing the leaking dye to mix creating new colors.
