Do the students wash their brushes between colors? We have two weeks of testing coming up with 30 minute classes and no transition time in between. Murals might be just the thing; thanks for the inspiration!
Students do not ever rinse in my classroom. They start with the lightest colors first then move to the dark colors. I keep the black out of the paint trays until the last class comes in to outline. I have found that water makes the tempera colors washed out. So I rinse the brushes in-between classes.
These are great. They have done a very good job of outlining. I like the use of coloured paper to begin with.
