Ink Blot Art

This is one of our simplest art projects, but always lots of fun! The materials needed are paper, paint in a bottle (for making dots), a pencil and your imagination.

(This is Maya's inkblot fly)

Fold the piece of paper down the middle,

then open the paper & place a few dots of paint along the center fold.

Close the paper again so that the paint will spread.

Open the paper & you will have your very own symmetrical ink blot design!

Next, use your imagination by adding to the design with pencil.

The human mind is wired to see pattern for survival. It's interesting how different people see different things

...but we all seek pattern.
