Artful Learning

Did you ever think back on my childhood experience of learning? What memories that brought you out? I have asked these questions, teachers, parents, friends and family members often. Usually projects or activities that were creative with some small (or great!) Risks revolve around the answers. There is always an emotional aspect of memory, whether positive or negative, and it holds that it is.

How we engage children in the face of life to think about creative, need for rich experiences brings to mind. A wonderful surprise of a child's creativity and art are supported. Here is a simple to use, even if "art" do not feel comfortable with the idea of ​​framework. So often art are held up and out of reach, but we are all creative beings! Take a moment to step outside your comfort zone might, and express yourself through the eyes (and the art of hand! Experience) with a baby!

Inspection / Explore:

• Take a walk out
• Look at the objects around the house
• Visit a museum
• Play on a playground

Take some time when a child or children to an activity with the group to observe. Bring along paper (or blank books) and pencils / crayons markers /. Draw what you see while watching the children to draw what they encourage. Comments and pictures about all the talk by asking questions such as, what you see? Tell me about your drawing. Do you see the object? Drawing on paper how you show what you saw with your eyes?

Visual Arts: Art materials you already have in house? Crayons, markers, pencils, paper, clay, paint, string? If possible, have a variety of materials available. Get creative! Children watching and exploring the environment and recording their thoughts on paper will now after many ideas. These help! They then use their comments any 3-D sculpture, a painting, create a more detailed picture. His comments "view" will add to the expansion of memory and observation.

Using his observations, the child can then create views. Leaf drew what they say is the tree? Swing thought is? Anything they can be brought to life has attracted! Children to look back and remember your picture to promote. Drawing is saying? Children are natural storytellers. Look back on their work and tell you what they remember.
