To continue experimenting with materials and techniques we painted with spices to create a smelling painting.The spices were:
- garlic
- oregano
- cinnamon
- curry
- paprika
- pepper.
We also combined the color and the smell, so here are the combinations:
We started to smell the spices. There were known spices like garlic or oregano, but there were also unknown spices for the kids, like curry.
The warm colors gave us the idea to draw a warm landscape: a sunset in the desert. Daniel drew a model in the blackboard and he helped the kids to draw the camels. After
this we could start to paint so the smells were everywhere! Brown
(cinnamon) and yellow (garlic) had the strongest smells. The brilliant
colors from the tempera and the smells from the spices turned the activity in a funny and
interesting sensorial experience.
To finish the activity we hung the paintings in the clothesline to let them dry, here you can see the results:
Practice new techniques! Discover new materials! Experiment with art!
