I make it through this painting lesson without rinsing brushes in water, just a paper towel for wiping paint off on. For “ART CART” Art Teachers, you know that’s a bonus, not having to fill water cups for students!!!
MATERIALS
Blue Cardstock, black, white, yellow or orange acrylic paint, 2 or 3 additional acrylic colors for his little scarf, paintbrush, paper towel
*I use craft smart acrylic paint, tempera would also work. I should be fast drying paint to get it all done in 1 class period

I start this lesson by painting a white arch in the center of the blue paper. Wipe the brush. Add a beak and little feet at the bottom. Wipe the brush. Paint the black parts of the penguin’s body and add wings. Wipe the brush really, really well to get all the black paint off. Use the back end of the brush to dip into white paint and make dots of snow in the background. Wipe. Dip the stick end into black paint and make the eyes of the penguin. Wipe. Last step is, pick a color for the scarf and paint it in. Wipe the brush.
