Here the young artists are gently placing watercolor paint down on the marbling size.
Using a stylus to create a pattern while marbling.
Removing the excess size from a sheet of marbled paper.
The co-op art teacher believes that children should learn with quality materials, so only real marbling materials were used in this project. Paper was pre-treated with alum, water color paints were used, and the bath of size that you see in the picture is carrageenan.
