Expressive Arts Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make a Large Drawing or Painting of Something Small<\/strong><\/p>\n

This activity is all about taking time to look closely at things we see every day but don\u2019t always notice. Just take a few minutes to look carefully at something you would normally ignore.<\/p>\n

You may be lucky enough to have a magnifying glass or lens to help you have a very closely at a small object.\u00a0 You can do this task without a lens or magnifier.\u00a0\u00a0 You can choose to look at whatever you wish.\u00a0 That might be a pebble, a snail shell or plant from outdoors or a corner of a window frame, a pattern on a curtain or carpet if you are indoors.<\/p>\n

Quickly draw a picture of what you see \u2013 don\u2019t worry about the detail at the moment.\u00a0 Now stop and look closely.\u00a0 Focus your attention on the small details.\u00a0 Note the shapes, lines and colours.\u00a0\u00a0 Draw or paint a new picture.\u00a0 Look at your two pictures and compare them.\u00a0 What did you notice the second time around that you missed the first time.<\/p>\n
