Towards the end of class, we brought some materials outside to try out the splat paintings that we did in the older classes. The girls enjoyed squeezing the water onto the plate of paint and pom-poms and then throwing the pom-poms at the easel!






Towards the end of class, I brought out a new medium for the kids to experiment with… Bioputty. To make the putty, we used Biocolor paints and a Bioputty solution (both are non-toxic children’s art supplies) and mixed them together. We got to see how combining these two special liquids could create a solid.
Here is what the putty looked like in it’s gooey stage. It is a very sensory-based medium to work with, but can definitely get a little messy!
In the 3s class, rather than work with the putty, the kids experimented with body painting! They started off painting their nose, then moved on to painting their feet to make footprints.
Washing up in a tub of warm water on a chilly day!
Outside we washed up in our water bucket and scooped soil from the older groups mud-pie makings.
See you next time!
It was exciting to see the children move around the studio and explore new places to paint!
Towards the end of class, I brought the children outside to learn about color mixing with powered tempera paint. They each chose two of the primary colors to use, scooped out some powdered paint onto their paper, then used water to mix the colors together.
We had a beautiful, warm week for clean up and water play!
This is going to be an exciting session!
