The children have been thoroughly enjoying exploring lots of vibrant colours in the gross motor art area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today the children chose the paint they wanted to use, along with the rollers and brushes. We gathered our resources and decided we would use different textures of paper. We began by talking about the different textures and how they felt.

\u201cThis is bumpy\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis one is shiny and smooth\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt bumpy\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s rough too\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe children then chose whether they wanted to use the brush or the roller and began exploring with the colours and the textures to make some big art! They used their gross motor skills to make the big movements required to roll and brush on the paper. Working together, they all took turns swapping the resources and colours making sure that everybody got a shot of everything they wanted.

\nThe children then decided to explore their colour mixing skills. As they mixed, they became more confident using their design process, they created new secondary and tertiary colours.
\n\u201c look purple\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI made brown\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI love orange\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our older children really enjoyed using the new paint tools to create vibrant and wonderful patterns, in the style of our featured artist \u201cSteven Brown\u201d. While our younger children enjoyed using their gross motor skills to make marks on the ground using a big space to expand their creative skills.
\nWe used so many skills in our gross motor art area today without even realising because we were having so much fun creating our abstract art.

\n\u201cI am using my hands\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201d I am making lots of lines\u201d<\/p>\n

I am making my shapes different colours\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dI am making shapes and mixing the colours together\u201d<\/p>\n
