Painting

One of our art activities is painting. The simple, open-ended process allows children to explore colour, texture and mark-making.

We provide tempera on canvas, water-based paints for leaves and safe wall paints for supervised mural work. Each step builds a small confidence in the little ones as they experiment, make choices and complete a piece of artwork.

The physical coordination of strokes and mental focus required for composition support both fine motor and cognitive development.
