Because Everything Should Smell Like Pumpkin Spice
0 Comments
by Sara Woolfolk I knew The Boy was trying to sort it out. Every chance he got, he mixed colors. Paint. Colored water. Those colored bath fizzy things. Tubes of food coloring he got out of the pantry while I was in the shower. (Good times) I tried hard not to correct him or over-instruct him about the mud making. Really, who cares if everything he paints is that same mud-colored shade. It was starting to grow on me. I was starting to buy home décor in earth tones to match all the art on the fridge. In the words of Pete the Cat, it’s all good.
Then he painted one hand red and one hand blue and rubbed them together to make purple. It was deliberate. It was amazing. You know what else? I haven’t answered a single question about what happens when you mix blue and yellow or red and blue or green and orange since.
Come explore ART in an environment that encourages DISCOVERY, self-directed learning, and connections with others. Our Art PlayGroups and Art FUNdamentals classes are designed for our youngest artist...ages 8 months through Pre-K. We meet weekly in our studio for an hour of wildly colorful play. |
Some little ones don't know what to do with a marker and a blank sheet of paper.
Heck, some big people don't know what to do with a marker and a blank sheet of paper! If you've got a hesitant artist at home or one that doesn't draw for very long, uou can encourage different types of marks with sound games. In each of these games, the parent or caregiver is drawing WITH the child. I like to share a big sheet of paper, but you can each have you're own if you'd like. |
