For our first exploration in the studio, our explorers were
offered warm colored pastels as well as warm colored paints to observe.
Already in their explorations, a preference for materials is starting to emerge.
While all young artists experimented with all materials,
some were drawn to a specific medium.
For the fashionable artist in polka-dots, painting on the wall with unusual brushes
offered a smooth and energetic feeling. She explored a large range of motion
with her arms as she created long and smooth brush strokes.
This sibling duo enjoyed making more definite shapes and designs with pastels, naming objects in their drawings and sometimes telling narratives for their images.
Over the Spring session, we will see how these preferences change and/or are made stronger as they are introduced to new materials and new discoveries are made with familiar materials.
