String Painting Art with FAS School Paints
LEVEL: Pre-school and Primary.
A is a fun and simple way for kids to make colourful pictures.
Every painting is unique, and there is very little involved in the setup—lots of fun.
You will need:
: Super Tempera Paint or a wash-off paint and paintbrush
: String cut in about 30cm (12”) lengths.
: Shallow Plates or trays
: Paper
: Apron and a cover sheet or newspapers – plus paper towels.
Let’s get started:
Cover the table with newspaper.
Pour a little Tempera paint into the shallow trays. One colour only per tray.
Dip the string into the Tempera Paint, leaving one end unpainted to hold on to.
Use your paintbrush to push the string into the paint, making sure it is well covered.

Lift the string and place it on your paper. Use the brush if you need to. It would help if you had help position it without the brush touching the paper.
Gently lift the string up and down, pull the string up, down and all around and then pull it off the paper.
Allow for drying.
TIPS:
- Cotton is better than plastic string.
Share, enjoy, and have fun.
