Students create an art project using glue and food coloring. In this art lesson, students are given a piece of wax paper and glue is poured in the middle of the paper. Finally, food coloring is dripped on one drop at a time with the students using a toothpick to drag the food coloring around the paper. The project dries over night and then the students can pull the wax paper away.
