I had gone there and drawn these the day after my grandmother passed away. It was not only a good exercise in replicating art forms in my own work, but also a very healing place to go to. Growing up, my grandmother and I would always go to the Denver Art Museum together, so being there and being surrounded by memories and artwork was a good experience in the midst of what I would consider to be the biggest loss in my life.

Sponge Art - Teacher Examples
Some example of a sponge art project that I had done for a “Messy Art Week” children’s summer camp. This was a super fun project to do with the kids, and they had a great time learning about how the colors mixed and overlapped with one another, as well as how to create visually interesting forms with one brush stroke.
To achieve this, paint was painted on in 3 stripes on a foam brush, and then dragged across a paper.
