A Child's Introduction to Materials

Creative Exploration is a process based class that introduces children to a variety of different materials. Each week there is a common theme explored through a series of art stations. Each station is a different example of how that weeks material can be used. Children are free to move around and explore each station as they please. Parents are encouraged to participate with their children.

Creative Exploration was created to encourage children to explore and use their imaginations. The concept of the class was created with the hope that it would instill a strong foundation, at a young age, giving the child the ability to think outside the box with confidence.

Finger Painting - Textures

Painting with body parts turned into finger painting pretty quickly once the rain started coming down. I had set up the foot print/mural stuff outside but not the weather for it. I was looking forward to this one the most too. Oh well, maybe in the spring. However, Quinn did give it a try. Thanks Quinn.
There were 3 tables of different colors and textures inside for children to feel and paint. I was surprised at how many kids didn't like the feeling of the paint on their hands. Next time will have more alternate activities provided for those kids. Lots of kids loved the hands washing station more then the paint stations. But it was good, I learned alot and I think the kids did too. Things can only get better from here. I am enjoying watching parents and kids explore together, which was the basis of where my idea came from for this class. I love seeing the uninhibitated art created by children. It is a wonderful thing to not have any expectations. I am looking forward to seeing everyone next week for Painting with different 'brushes.'
We are going to explore tennis balls, string, feathers, paint brushes, spray bottles, straws, and marbles. It is going to be a busy, fun morning!!!!
Thanks to all the parents who left suggestions, the more the merrier. I want the class to be fun for everyone. See you next week!!!
