A few students took "painting the grapes" quite literally and soon many of the grapes were adorned with purples and greens and further used to make prints and stamps on paper.
A wonderful discovery occurred when a grapes was squashed and the dark skins were rubbed onto white paper... a pigment was transferred.
This led to mere exploration and questions regarding the possible use of other natural materials as pigment.
