The process of making art. Lessons in life.

April 18, 2023

Inspired by stained glass windows, L aged 7, has planned and created this pony painting. Taking time to arrange ideas and organise materials before realising the final art work is an important and transferable skill. Children often rush their work because adults rush them. Let's give them time to learn and enjoy the process. Here L has also learned about colour mixing and values, composition, brush techniques. ...and had fun doing it.
