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.

Stamps & Stencils












The wonderful and endless world of stamps!!! Today each table had a kind of grouping of different kinds of stamps. We had the traditional rubber and foam stamps with ink pads. The kids got very creative and started coloring their stamps with felts and stamping them down! It worked great! Something I would never have thought of, I love kids! We had the magic marker table that was a huge hit with the older girls. But I have to credit that to crayola. I just thought that tracing stencils would be way more fun if you used magic markers! We had your regular kitchen utensils, the gravy beaters were very popular. I loved the pattern the masher left behind. Actually the egg cartons were very cool as well, they looked like bolts. We had a sponge table where I took regular sponges and cut out shapes. I also loved the texture of these. Reminded me of a dried bubble pattern? Oh and a great one for home is sticky back foam shapes stuck to matte board or card board rolls. The kids can stick the foam onto the board and then use that as a home made stamp. The card board roll was awesome because it made an endless line of stamping fun! All you need for ink pads are facecloths folded into 4s and then watered down tempura paint soaked into the cloth.
I am off to Egypt next week so I will see all of you on the 26th!!
