Exploring materials creatively involves learning
the different qualities and characteristics of each material.
Children develop a sense of craft
by observing
materials and how the materials respond to different
actions applied
using their hands as well as tools.
Children discover that clay, for instance, can be manipulated by tearing, squishing, pressing, pounding, cutting, and poking.
Often, these two artists naturally begin the clean up process with clay when they feel it is time! They enjoy the routine of caring for the clay when finished exploring the material.Through studio clean up routines they are not only learning skills necessary to engaging in a community setting, but also continuing to develop craft as they learn to care for materials.
