Part of the process of painting is learning how to rinsing your brushes. The students get three small plastic cut, recycled cafeteria food containers, and place them on the table so that two people share them. They arrange them in a triangle and then rinse their brushes in three consecutive "rinses." The first rinse is to get all the paint off the brush. The second rinse is to get the dirty, paint water off the bristles, and the third rinse is is to ensure that their brush is clean, ready for a new color. They are still having a hard time understanding the concept behind rinsing it three times. Some of them still ask questions about rinsing like "which cup is first rinse" reminding me that they are still just trying to "listen to directions" instead of understanding the purpose of having a clean brush to paint with.
