Some of our children have been commenting on the wonderful, colourful flowers we have growing in our garden.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThis was the inspiration for our next street art creation in our gross motor art area in our garden.
\nWe chose colours that we thought were like the ones we had seen on our flowers. One of the children wanted pink. Using our colour mixing skills, we mixed our red and white to make a pastel pink colour. We also mixed red and blue together with a little white to create a wonderful deep purple colour.<\/p>\n

We made some flowers on our ground in chalk as the start of our street art creation and got our paints and brushes ready to use. \u00a0As we were using the ground as our canvas, we made sure we put on our welly boots and aprons to protect our clothes.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now for the fun part. To get creating and using our gross motor art skills.<\/p>\n

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

Some of our children wanted to use the paints to colour in the chalk outlines.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSome of our children wanted to design their own flowers using lots of different colours to create a rainbow flower.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWe were enjoying having the freedom to create and use the paints in our design process on a larger scale.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We spoke about what kind of flowers we were making for our street art garden. We had Daffodils, Tulips, Sunflowers and even a Spider-Man flower.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSome children were finding their own spontaneous inspiration and created different shapes.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWe even made numbers and fruits as well with one child creating a green apple and a yellow banana.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had so much fun painting our street art garden in the sun and letting our creative thinking shine.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think our street art garden looks as wonderful and as colourful as the real flowers in our garden.
