We had blue salt on our messy table and we enjoyed drawing lots of different pictures. Some of us made patterns with our fingers, some used brushes and one of us noticed that screwdrivers were excellent for drawing thin lines. We liked using the big brushes to hide our pictures before drawing new ones.
We were also developing our drawing skills when using the magnadoodles at the writing table. We liked that we could rub out our drawings when we were finished
Last week, a lot of us enjoyed exploring paint with our fingers and hands, swirling it around and making different patterns. This week we had a look at this picture - Van Gogh's Starry Night and noticed that it had swirly patterns too. We also noticed that it looked like a night picture with the moon and stars. We saw that there was blue, black, yellow, white and gold in the picture. We squirted these colours onto our art table and used our fingers to make swirly patterns.
When we were finished swirling all the paint around, we made prints by pressing some paper on top of our patterns. When the prints are dry we are going to put them on our wall so please come in and have a look at our version of 'Starry Night'.
