Baking soda plus vinegar

Everyone had their own style,
some covered the paper with paint,
some picked a more random approach,
some needed to stand while painting,
some needed two hands,
but every one of the paintings turned out beautiful!
What's happening here?  It looks like painting but it's so much more!  It's taking turns, being patient, it's being thoughtful, it's painting and it's science.  The paint is mixed with baking soda and the pipettes are adding vinegar to the finished painting.  The paint bubbles up and the colors mix-it's a chemical reaction and it's fun!
