It's time to for these kids to get down and dirty, and start some hands-on learning! We are little adventurers, and painting is one of the most exciting ways my kids can be creative and begin to share their stories and ideas! I want my students to become engaged with their surroundings, and create new experiences. My students need to express themselves with their own hands, show how they feel with paint splattered canvas. Art, like life, is a messy and hands on experience. In addition to the emotional benefits of making art, painting can help teach important motor skills. I am teaching my students many creative ways to describe and express who they are!
