Finnish Patterns with Airbrush

A couple weeks back I found a Crayola marker airbrush kit on clearance at Wal-Mart for five dollars. It turns Crayola markers into airbrush paint by clipping them into a pump. I was kind of hoping this would be a solution for all those markers that are almost dry but still have a little life in them. It turns out that the markers needed to be practically brand new for it to work and even then it would jam up randomly with no signs of why, which is why I am glad I made this a group project! We talked about Finland and created a group project using stencils that reminded me of some Finnish patterns I came across. We laid the stencils down on canvas boards and sprayed with blue and green toned markers. When the airbrush worked the students really enjoyed spraying with it, but I would never shell out the thirty bucks it retails for- watch for a clearance- then it's worth it!
