A world without paint brushes

Have you ever painted without using a paint brush? In today's lesson we will be exploring artists who use unusual techniques to paint, and as a result, create unique marks, patterns and textures. You will experiment with lots of these techniques later on in the lesson, and you might need a parent or carer to support you in finding some materials around your home to do this.
