Mrs Wilson has been busy finding loose parts at home to create some transient art. \u00a0 Transient art is a term used to describe art that is non-permanent and continually evolving, where a variety of materials are used to create pictures, patterns or models.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The non-permanent nature of this art means that children can move, change and experiment with the materials used until they are happy with what they have achieved.\u00a0 As well as developing their fine motor skills children also grow in confidence at making decisions as they design and redesign their ideas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Working on transient art projects is a fun way to develop creativity and encourages children to explore materials and develop an understanding of their senses.<\/p>\n

The loose parts used provide an ideal opportunity to talk about texture, colour and size.\u00a0 Using loose parts also develops skills in numeracy and mathematics such as sorting, matching, counting, pattern making, exploring shapes and learning about symmetry.<\/p>\n
