The first was tracing shadows. We set up two lamps so more than one
child could work at this at the same time.
I referred to the lights as the sun and we angled it low to make the shadows
longer.
I hoped we could use oil pastels for this activity but the tip of the pastel was
to thick for tracing so we brought down the pencils.
I’ve mentioned before that younger children may have a difficult time seeing the shadow. But once it was pointed out, the white paper helped, then they were able to trace around it. The older children more so because it took a lot of fine
motor skill.
This child worked hard to set up the mini colander just so and then trace the
marks. We thought it looked like a strawberry with seeds.
The other art activity was using stencils and chalk pastels.
It is the same skill as the first activity but simpler because the stencil is a solid form to trace. This child really enjoyed this activity and did several pieces of art.
On to her second work; love her focus and the brush of chalk on her cheek from
pushing up her glasses.
And just like tracing a shadow some children couldn’t see the outside of the
stencil and started on top of it.
I really enjoyed this art. This is my piece, I overlapped the stencil and used
different colours.
