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.

Painting with Chance














Painting with chance was such a fun day! Everyone loved the salad spinners and paint, they turned out beautiful. Malaika had a great idea of turning them into a mobile once they were dry. For those of you that missed last class, watch for my art tutorial on what to do with salad spinners and paint on 'Our Big Earth'.
We brought out the marbles and paint as well. They were creating some great paint tracks. I was finding marbles all over the floor during clean up. I am sure that I didn't find them all. So that everyone knows, I kept all the left behind art and it is dry and ready to take home next week.
Some great print making took place in the afternoon class where the kids explored mixing the paint together with their fingers, sometimes drawing in the paint and then putting paper on top and making a print on paper. These turned out amazing! Almost like paper blots.
We also tried paper towel dying. We folded the paper towel up and then dipped the towel into the food coloring and then unfolding the towels and seeing the wonderful designs left behind. They were hard to unfold so there was some discusion around using cotton material which would probably look great.
I had a great time, took me alittle while to wake up from my morning haze, but all the smiles were so worth it!
