The art center and the easel are very popular in Kitah Bet.
Every morning the easel is open with paint set out and the children are free to
paint.
The importance of painting in a small
child’s day is key. The easel is a perfect vehicle for allowing this
opportunity. So many skills can be discovered and practiced while painting. Eye
hand coordination, small motor control, color mixing, sharing and cooperation, creative
independence etc.
There are no rules when it comes to painting. There is no
determined product. Just a process.
Today our art center was all about painting - but with a twist, no paintbrushes were
allowed!
The Morah set out different household items that could be
used for painting. A potato masher, a pastry brush and other interesting
unusual things to paint with. We discovered different patterns and textures and
the children were excited to paint with things that are not usually used for painting.
