The local 4-H Arts program had a workshop where the kids could learn to make acrylic-pour art on canvas. \u00a0Since I’d been looking at exactly that just a few weeks earlier and thinking that I wanted to try it out, I jumped at the chance to sign up with my two younger children.<\/p>\n

We did a ‘flip cup’ pour with only 3-4 colors as this was suggested to get the best results for the kids. \u00a0And I held back a bit to watch how everything turned out. \u00a0Part of the secret seems to be patience – don’t rush the process of letting the colors spread out.<\/p>\n

I happen to like the one made by my youngest best, I think choosing highly contrasting colors help the final outcome. \u00a0I also noticed that the color I used most in the cup isn’t necessarily what you get most of on the canvas. (For mine, I used nearly 1\/2 purple, but it’s not dominant in the final painting).<\/p>\n

Youngest daughter’s final result using red, orange, purple and silver. I really didn’t think these colors would work, but now it’s my favorite.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
My middle child’s effort. Sorry about the glare here, I’ll get a better photo when it’s dried. He was going for ‘space’ and didn’t quite achieve that, but it’s still cool.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They are still drying right now and will have a poly finish applied before they are ready to go.<\/p>\n

The kids loved this so expect to see more!<\/p>\n
