We used our fingers to create different imaginative paintings. During the class, we were given a big wooden board and some black paint. Our task was to use Lego pieces to create buildings. We were instructed to pour some paint onto the board and use a roller to spread the paint out so that it became easier to work with. We were then told to use the small Lego pieces and dip them into the paint, then press them onto our given paper. As we were given free reign over what kind of Lego pieces we used, each design was unique.

After using the Lego, we were asked to use each individual part our hands as the tools. We printed part of our hand onto the paper and then used our imagination to visualise the print being a different picture. E.g. a fingerprint could be seen as a piece of fruit, or the side of the hand could be viewed as a swan’s neck. This encourages children to utilise their creativity and initiative to create works of art that are utterly unique to the child.
