Blot art is a fun and easy way to explore your imagination and create something cheerful. Many of us might remember painting on one half of a page and folding it in half to print the other side to make a surprise picture. This technique can even be used in a scientific setting to help understand what people might be thinking. However, most often, it's just a nice creative activity that invites the imagination to see shapes and things among the blots of paint.

If you want to enjoy this activity in a group, you can invite people to discuss what they can see. To get started, you'll need A4 art paper folded down the middle and different color paints.

Here are the steps to follow:
1. Give each person a sheet of paper.
2. Explain and demonstrate to the group that they’re going to paint a random image on one side of the sheet and then fold it over and press down so that the paint prints on the opposite side.
3. Unfold the paper carefully.
4. Invite everyone to have a go.
5. People can then hold up their image and explain what they think it looks like.
6. Ask each person in the group if they can see the same thing or if they can see something else. Ask them to describe it.
7. Give everyone a chance to talk about their own picture and comment on everyone else’s.
Blot art is a great way to encourage creativity and imagination. It's an activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities, and it's a wonderful way to bring people together and have some fun. So grab some paper and paint, and see what kind of surprising images you can create!
