Painting a group painting at the easel with acrylics.

Designing a "Worm House" in a sketchbook.

Finger painting in the YD classroom.

Adding special touches on a painting that will hang in the halls of our
school . I've already had people wanting to buy it!

Beautiful posture while drawing the worm house.

Even Pre-K likes to fingerpaint. Working here after
working on a detailed drawing in their sketchbooks.

"Double dipping" is okay in the paint jar.

"My worm house has wings. It is flying!"

The threes paint with vigor. 

YD painted with red and yellow finding out that it makes yellow.

"It's flowers"

"It's a worm house"

"Look, I made black!"

So much learning goes on through personal choice. The

class meets at a central table when they enter the room. We exchange ideas and then

get to work. For the last few months the 3s, 4s and K have been drawing

in a sketch book that they each made. We have

drawn from life and memory.

"This is for my Mom" I hear this quite often.
Even though Mom is not in the classroom, she is
always remembered.

The Young twos worked on a suncatcher. Moving

around the room ,they worked at the newly placed

tabletop easel. This is yet another creative place that

gets them to stand using their creative self and muscles.

Layers of color tissue paper and water on board were

exciting the younger artists this week. They saw how colors changed

when they overlapped and the water left a stain on the

board if they lifted the paper up. I encourage the

artists to stand up while they work. This increases the strength of

their core as well as bulding the ever important arm muscles

for future writing skills.

These are more drawings from the Pre-K.
