Marble painting always produces unique abstract works of art. But rolling balls in a cake pan is sometimes not enough to capture the imagination of the boys. As an art teacher I have found changing the size of a project can change how the kids approach the project.
Marble painting regular size
First a little refresher on marble painting; be prepared with a place to dry paintings before beginning this project. I like to set up a make-shift clothesline across the room. It may seem like overkill if you only have a handful of kids working on this project, but trust me, it’s not.
Write children’s names on wooden clothespins before clipping the string so that you can decipher who is who’s when they are dry.

Now super-size it!
Super sizing marble painting can result in fabulous pieces of wall art. Use the finished project to decorate the walls of your home, school, church or community center. A marble painted canvas by kids could be donated or raffled off or auctioned in order to raise money for the art program!
