- And I'm Lydia.
- And this is our teachable moment.
- Today, we're going to create simple art using natural materials around us.
A great way to create art is to use water.
You can fill a spray bottle with water, place a found treasure on the sidewalk, and spray around it to create an outline.
(cheerful music) - You can also use a paintbrush, dip it into a water, and make designs on the sidewalk.
Or you can find a flat rock to use as a canvas.
The sun and the wind will dry it, so you can create again and again.
- For an art project that lasts longer, add a little dirt to your water to make mud.
You can use your mud paint to paint on a piece of paper.
- [Amber] If you're feeling adventurous, you can paint on yourself.
(cheerful music) - Have fun!
