Students love using "tools" while experimenting with the creative arts.
Students have been learning about the different shades of colors and how colors are mixed. Here a student uses a dropper (fine motor skill) to mix yellow and red to make orange. Use of a variety of media, techniques, and processes in art activities that are of the child's creation, are important to building a child's confidence in their creativity.
Plus pre-writing skills are being developed by strengthening small muscles while using the droppers.
We've added a new "tool" to creative media. A hair dryer allows the children to add layers to their water color paintings and "re-visit" their art work on a more advanced level. This tool is only used by those who follow safety rules keeping it blowing only on paper and away from liquids/paint pots at table
