Serendipity Watercolors

9/10/2015

0 Comments

 
Pre-K and Kinders are enjoying exploring the the expressive potential of watercolor paints.  Using the Reggio-Emilia approach of exploration and self-discovery,  the children got busy learning the various ways we can make marks with brushes and made some surprising discoveries.  In this seemingly simple activity students are learning how to :
  • wet paper and paint, washing brush between colors.
  • study the effects of working on wet paper.
  • practice positioning the hand to access the tip of the brush.
  • understand how to make a color lighter or darker
  • understand the unique qualities of watercolor paint

Students were thrilled with the vibrant results.

PreK and Kinder have embarked on a unit that sets out to discover how to make marks and images purposefully and uncover just what materials and little hands can do.  These colorful abstractions were made by simply tearing paper into different shapes. Each one is so unique!

Please join us in celebrating achievement in art at QISS and the 2015 ACAMIS Cultural Convention at the 138 Warehouse Gallery on May 23rd.  Tickets are 50 RMB and include delicious refreshments and fun activities for all ages. 

The gallery is a little difficult to find so give yourself plenty of time to get there. The address is at 138 Xiang Gong Lu and the nearest intersection is at Hai long Lu and Xiang Gong Lu.  If you go towards the water from that intersection, on the right hand side, there is a gate to some apartment buildings with a flag that says 138 on it.  Follow the road to the right to find the gallery.

Painted Paper DaY!

PreK and Kinders love to get down to the business of making painted paper and I'm so glad they do.  This simple activity has a lot going for it.  Not only do students get the pleasure of exploring mark making, color mixing and creating texture, the resulting paper is excellent collage material for our final project.
