Our morning workshop tables were play dough and icy snow in our sensory table. Much of our morning workshop time is also being spent for quick finishing touches on our art show projects. These are quick gluing or painting spots that do not take a lot of time from their play. That free play hour in the morning is very important!
Our snack today was carrots and Pirate Booty. After snack we took some time on the rug to look at Picasso Posters. We talked a bit about his style of painting. Some of our friends felt they were scary, some funny. We welcome all their reactions and opinions, as our teaching goal is for them to realize that art makes us feel, art affects us all differently and that is okay. Even if we do not like someone's art, that is fine as long as we are respectful about our opinion.
We have been working on our art aprons. We have different art work groups. Some are splatter painting aprons and some are tie-dying aprons. You can tell which ones are doing which by the colors on their finger tips! We are wearing gloves, but some of the dye goes through.
We went outdoors to play today. It was not so muddy.
