Students are given a piece of paper towel and a paint brush. We talk about how fun it is to paint and how fun it is to pretend. Today we will pretend we are secret agents who have to write messages and draw maps with ink that will disappear.

Students dip their brushes in water and paint whatever they want on the paper towel. After the paper towel dries, their drawings/messages will disappear.

This exercise gives students practice as to how the art room needs to be cleaned up after each class.
