Now students were ready to make their own lines. Steps One and Two I passed out 18 x 24" (46 x 61 cm) white paper and white crayons. Students drew different kinds of lines, pushing down hard with their crayons. Next, I passed out an assortment of long strips of bleeding tissue paper of various widths.

I passed out spray bottles of water and students enthusiastically sprayed the water on top of their tissue papers (some students may need assistance with this step).
