🖌️🎨 Atelier
Creativity comes in many forms, and what we have observed is that the children in preschool are particularly interested in paint and exploring how it works. They enjoy experimenting with colours, textures and different ways of applying paint, showing curiosity and enthusiasm as they discover what they can create.
This morning, the children told Jo that they wanted insects in the atelier so they could explore mark-making. Naturally, the children were keen to paint the insects, using the experience as an opportunity to explore colour, shape and different ways of creating marks.
They were inspired by the insects projectored on the wall, which created a sense of awe and wonder. The children were fascinated by what they could see and were full of questions, sharing their ideas and observations as they explored. Their curiosity led them to investigate the insects through painting and mark-making, turning their questions into creative exploration 🪲🐞
