As promised a while back, here are two photos of artwork created by the preschool storytime. In the first photo, you see two examples of the confetti explosion project (black paper) next to the two murals created in the free painting project. In the second photo, you can see a close-up of one of the painted murals; note the scratchboard-like quality the kids achieved by first painting a multicolored layer, then painting a top layer of blue, then using their fingernails to dig through and uncover the first layer. Very cool, and it all came from the kids and their imagination. (Click on images to enlarge.)
                         
I like the lower blue painting. It has motion.
It’s cool, isn’t it? The kids were doing their best Jackson Pollock imitation with that one – moving back and forth, sweeping their hands through the paint. So it really does have motion!
