Term One - Week Two

What a colourful bunch they are! This week the kids have zoomed through their work in order to start on their canvases. I think the thought of getting paint on their brushes, not to mention their fingers, faces and painting aprons is just too much fun.

Actually they really weren't that bad.

We started off colouring a grid of squares making sure that the colours didnt' bump into each other' which followed on from our work in week one. They then had to transfer the colours from the grid on paper to squares on the canvas which proved to be a challenge for some of the smaller ones. That is where artistic licence comes in.

I'm trying to get them to enjoy the experience of actually painting rather than focusing on getting it finished. If the atmosphere when parents arrive to pick them up is anything to go by, they are well and truly on their way...
