Drip Art

 Carrie face timed me and Sharen asking for our help.

Her classes (eighth grade English) were finishing up testing and midterm projects heading into Christmas break. Teachers in her group found a cool thing on TikTok called drip art. They thought it would be a great thing for students to come together, de-stress and make a fun project before break.

Drip Art….

Finished look

Each student was given a piece of paper with drips drawn and they would color in between the lines. Turns out the teachers didn’t have the time or the ambition to draw the blank sheets.

Sharen and I jumped all over it. Carrie dropped off supplies and We got together and started drawing.

Artist at work

Carrie suggested maybe 10 or 12 different patterns. She had to be joking - that was only 5 or 6 a piece. Once Sharen and I got started we texted Carrie some pictures of what we were doing and if it would work.

Our drip art

She texted back it was exactly what they wanted, so Sharen and I continued drawing and having fun. We finished with 12 a piece for 24 choices. 400 Copies were made for the students.

Carrie sent us a text message with pictures of her class filling in the drips. Turns out they were all into it and used all the patterns.

Carrie said it was a great way to wind down before Christmas vacation. I cannot wait to see the finished wall. She wasn’t sure where they would put it, all classes together in the library or each class in the hallway. Either way it felt good to help out some stressed out teachers with such a fun project and Sharen and I got to spend an afternoon together drawing. Win - Win for all….
