Summary: Trying something different. Starting with a black canvas to and try using other objects to paint with. I was hoping that using sponges instead of brushes would take some of the pressure off. I was wrong. It was brutal. Ari had all of the meltdowns about having her painting not look like the picture. Maddie had done that once before so I've had experience with the process but Ari was much more spectacular. We worked through it and made it to the end. (*spectacular = pick up her canvas with both hands, wield it overhead, ready to chuck it across the yard.) Once she had lunch and was able to step away for a longer break she was in a much better mood. We ended on a high note. Maddie remained casual through the whole thing, so that was a nice improvement. I was trying to get them to use sponges to make these paintings. They did for a bit and produced some great textures but ultimately they felt more comfortable with brushes. I printed and cut out the boat so we would all have a matching template. We used toothbrushes dipped in white paint to flick on the stars.
