“Spin Art”

Once again I found myself at the thrift store last week.  This time I came home with a salad spinner.  It might sound like an odd choice for an art tool, but it’s perfect for making spin art at home.

I trimmed sheets of paper into small circles to fit inside the salad spinner. I used both regular printer paper and Bristol paper for this project, along with a few kinds of acrylic paints and inks.  You will need to use a relatively fluid kind of paint to get the splatter effect of the spin art.  I specifically used Golden fluid and high flow paints to start.  The regular fluid paint moved well enough, but the high flow paint really dispersed through the salad spinner.  I also used a few FW acrylic inks and they performed similarly to the high flow paints.  The resulting prints turned out so cool.  This art project is fun and easy for anyone to take on during the cold winter months.
