Artist Colony Activity

Use the backyard for this fun party. Tack large sheets of white paper to the fence. Collect as many worn out shirts as you have guests...they make excellent smocks for pint size Picasso's
Provide each painter with a long brush and a couple of glasses of premixed poster paint
You'll have a Greenwich Village art show in no time at all!
A committee of parents can pin ribbons on the best paintings
Set up a group of card tables covered in red-checkered tablecloths and give something hearty like spaghetti to eat.

This is a great summer activity for the kids. Invite all their friends for some "Artist" fun.
