Making paint with nature's colors

Painting in Daniel Trabue days would have been done with natural colors from Mother Earth. Mary Anne Loy led the students in how to make their own paint - pick plants and berries, like poke berries, put them in a jar of cold water, then leave them in the sun for two weeks. She strained them and what was left was the natural colors the children were painting with in this picture. From left are Christina Burton, Kalen Scruggs, Brenden Shillings, Millie?? Thompson, Sophia Rowe, Reagan Hillock, and Amani Coomer. Comments | Permalink
