As John Andrew Holmes wisely said,
"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting
centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

CREATIVE ART!

Something all preschoolers need to know is how to use a variety of media, techniques, and processes is art activities that are of their own creation. Of course, using your hands to paint is so much fun! The messier the better! Using our sense of touch while creating is such a great experience!


Another important standard addressed is recognizing various different forms of art work and respecting the work of others. Students love to show off their work and talk about it with one another. HO4K is colorfully decorated with hangings of beautiful work created by our students! Come in and ask a child to tell you all about their masterpiece. They love to use descriptive conversational language to help you understand their imaginations!


Students have used finger paints to explore texture, lines and mixing of colors. Below students are exploring what colors and shades they can make while mixing. Not only is this a great review of our primary colors and mixing techniques, but is a great small motor activity as students use droppers to mix with.


Students practiced taking turns and working together to find new colors. What great cooperative learning.
