Thank you very much for this visual art idea. I did it for Halloween this year with my second graders, and the result is great ?? However, I used acrylic paint because it didn't look at all like in your photos with gouache.
Merci beaucoup pour cette idée d'art visuel. Je l'ai fait pour Halloween cette année avec mes CE2, le rendu est top ?? Par contre j'ai fait à l'acrylique car ça ne rendait pas du tout comme sur vos photos à la gouache.
Honestly, I loved this creation. Super useful for decorating the house for HALLOWEEN. :)
