Here are two images we used in painting textures with the children.
View the short video and then read the post about it.
So in case you didn’t get exactly what we did, here’s the scoop.
I had previously worked with these kids on creating all types of lines.
To take it further I showed them a number of materials as seen above of textured materials and talked about how the lines can show texture.
We then went over what some of the lines are.
I gave the children thin brushes and one color dark paint so they wouldn’t get distracted. I wasn’t sure how much the kids got out of this. There may have been too much of a mixture of ages to do this. The older kids got it more than the younger ones and the 4-6 year old didn’t really get the idea.
Below are some of the results.
I’d love to hear how anyone’s came out with their own kids or students if you could share if you try this activity.
I think painting and drawing textures is a bit of an advanced activity to do with young children.
Am I wrong?
