We enjoyed the process of using icy arctic colors to slip and slide across the shiny foil. Process Art is an art that is child-directed, choice-driven, and celebrates the experience of discovery. In process art, the final product is always unique and the focus lies in the creation of the work, not the outcome.
Young children learn in many different ways. One way they learn is through purposeful play and open ended activities. Open ended art experiences give them a chance to explore the world around them, ask questions, and see how things work. These art experiences allow them room to be themselves, make their own decisions, and just create. We used liquid watercolors, absorbent paper towels, eye droppers, and small paint brushes to create! The children loved watching their tiny drops spread and mix into a starburst as they hit the towels.
We worked together in small groups yesterday to make an oversized shape painting. Pick a color..paint a shape. The students switch colors and move to a different location. They layered designs, made dots, shapes, patterns, painted with a brush and even with their fingers.
