Subject: Art

Description: We love doing collaborative work at our school. It is a great way to engage multiple children at the same time or to allow individual freedom on a larger “canvas”. Painting engages children in many ways- color, contrast, fading; while also developing fine motor skills and social interaction. My kids loved contributing to a new art installation in our classroom. Emilia worked longer than her co-workers because she really wanted the picture to be “so pretty”.
