Which Texture Do You Prefer?




How is painting different when the surface changes? We thought we would let our art explorers discover some answers by providing some recycled apple packaging from a local grocery store as a canvas.





Many began with a brush, but could not resist the feeling of the new, rough and bumpy surface. This young artist discovered she could also create a drumming sound when applying the colors with her hands.





Others were curious and experimented with the new materials...


...but decided they truly enjoy the flow of brush on paper.


Offering a variety of materials and textures allows children to experiment and notice how different media interact on different surfaces.
