For the last week we chose the topic: experimenting with materials and techniques. The idea was to paint and sculpt with materials with different textures, consistencies, smells... And to learn and use non conventional techniques.
- One of my favorite activities was sculpting with shaving foam. Daniel did this activity in the past in kindergartens and I was so interested to try it!
For
this activity we were in the backyard of the house on a long plastic tablecloth. Each kid had a small mountain of shaving foam to create an
sculpture with their own hands. The first minutes we just enjoyed the
texture of the foam, and also its smell. Dip the hands into the shaving
foam is a nice and weird experience. I promise you that it is an amazing
texture to experiment with.
- We prepared the materials on the table for the next activity: shake the colors. We needed
tempera, paper and shoes boxes. We told the kids that they have to
stick the paper inside the shoes box with tape. After that we asked the
kids to start to paint but they told us that they don't have brushes!
"Sorry kids" we said, "Here you have them" and we gave them pingpong
balls!
The way to paint is just shake the shoes box with the ping pong ball inside with the color that we chose:
Practice new techniques! Discover new materials! Experiment with art!
