Before today, that is! We did another Book Break today. We read "Olivia", and then discussed what we thought her favorite things might be (the color red because there is lots of red in the book, ballet because her favorite painting at the museum was of ballerinas). But we did find out that Olivia just doesn't "get" abstract paintings. And truthfully, we don't either. We also realized that Bev doesn't have an abstract paintings in her house, and nobody else thought they had any either. So, we made these that will hang in Bev's house for the next week or so, and then they can hang in your houses!

They were made by putting paint on the paper with spoon, and then running a comb through the paint. Of course, there was also a lot of spreading of the paint with the spoon!
