June's first paintings!






Artists excitement grew as they mixed paints, making new colors from the primary colors red, blue, and yellow (along with some white), and discovering endless color combinations.



 After mixing, artists painted with their unique and personal color palette. Observing these artists at work, it is interesting to note the various styles of painting and stages of development of each child.



 

 A bit younger, this painter is very intrigued by the sensory aspect of the material. He uses all of the colors that he mixed, and is more interested in covering the paper with paint than creating shapes or designs.


This young artist had an imaginative story to go along with her painting when she was finished. There are trees on the right and an orange and yellow backpack in the middle. The backpack has a big bow on it because it is a present for the people who are resting on the ground near the tree.






Her neighbor  created a painting of a rainbow along with other details. She often used two brushes loaded with different colors simultaneously.







This young artist was a little shy when sharing about her painting, but she explained to the group that there is a bug inside a box!
The collection at the end of class was greatly admired and each artist shared a little bit about their process or the stories that accompany their paintings.
