Acrylic Painting on Raw Canvas?

I wanted to do a painting with perfect symmetry (like those blobs we did in 1st grade and such, with the folded paper) but on canvas. Would it be possible to:

1- Paint the first half on raw unstretched canvas
2- Fold it over to make at least a symmetrical shadow (to be painted over later)
3- Stretch and prime the canvas after the initial paint was laid, and paint over it?

Will this work, do you think?
 
Yes it will work but obviously lay it flat after you smoosh it all together or it will crack up, unless you wish for a large crease that cracks...neat thought.
