Let’s make a messy mud painting! A mud painting is where you use mud on paper and scratch a design into the surface. This activity is inspired by an artwork by Jean Dubuffet called ‘Large Black Landscape’ where he scratched into the surface of the paint on his canvas. To make a mud painting inspired by artist Jean Dubuffet, you will need: some soil (only a small handful) a glass of water a bowl a stick and some other objects to scratch into the surface with. We used a coin, a rock and a crayon Find the full activity here: https://www.tate.org.uk/kids/make/paint-draw/make-mud-painting
