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

















Finger painting was, as always, fun and messy!! This time around we had combs to run through the paint which made some interesting designs. It worked especially well with the soapy paint, a favorite with the kids. (Check out the recipes section to make it yourself at home.) This time for the gritty paint I used sugar instead of salt...this made the paint drying process sticky and it never dried. So sorry to the parents that left those particular paintings behind, I just couldn't store them. We had some great finger painting murals that the whole class worked on. I loved the way the colors mixed and created new colors, they were so vibrant! We also added some textured paper in the mix, this was an interesting experiment which lasted only seconds for most children.
Sorry to everyone that it has taken me so long getting these photos posted this week, we had abit of computer trouble.

As for this week's theme / topic... DIFFERENT KINDS OF PAINT BRUSHES!!!
This class is usually quite messy and very fun! Since I have art smocks now I thought a messy class would be perfect to put them to the test! Look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow.
