Art Tip

My students do art often. The thought of washing 32 (or more) paint brushes does not sound like fun. So a few years ago I decided to use sponges and then have the kids throw them away after they are done with their work. Last week, I ran out of sponges so I went and bought more today. Here is what I do.

First, I cut the sponges in quarters.

Next, I let the sponges air dry completely.

Last, I put the sponges in a ziplock bag and store them in my art closet.

I only use the sponges if the whole class is painting at the same time.
