Painting with Poster Paint
“I really like how this resource provides lots of interesting and exciting ways for poster paint to be used. It combines observational drawing and painting with more abstract pattern providing a breadth of exploration. Giving learners the opportunity to explore the properties of poster paint as well as seeing how it responds to different materials will help to nurture imaginations as well as providing support for the development of basic skillsets.” – Rachel, AccessArt
