Todays kindy update, its great to know what Eva gets up to when she is not with me.
Observational drawing.... By offering a variety of subjects for children to draw and as teachers draw attention to the finer details through this process, the children begin to notice different shapes, textures and colours. This is when children begin to view the world through the eyes of an artist.
Eva noticed we had something different to draw with today. Pastel chalk and water. As Eva was experimenting with these, I encouraged her flicked through the pages of our book which showed a variety of photos of people with clay painted faces and head pieces. Please see photos attached, Eva's interpretation.
Art touches the soul... Art is communication... It reaches out from the canvas and passes through the eyes of the viewer right into his heart where it can leave an imprint of beauty that can make the spirit sing. Nina Baldwin.
