Art and Creativity

Art is important for children especially during their early development. Research shows that art activities develop brain capacity in early childhood; in other words, art is good brain food! Art engages children’s senses in open-ended play and develops cognitive, social-emotional and multi-sensory skills. As children progress into elementary school and beyond, art continues to provide opportunities for brain development, mastery, self esteem and creativity.

Poetry Paintings

Make beautiful abstract color spray paintings using Liquid Watercolor on fabric and then add a poem on top. This fabric was sprayed, drizzled and also dripped with Colorations® Liquid Watercolor using trigger spray bottles and eye droppers. Let it dry, then add a second layer of details such as the hearts shapes you see here. (This last step is optional and can be eliminated with younger groups). Lastly, select a poem from a poetry book, or write your own poem, and use permanent markers or puffy paint to write a poem on top. Stretch around cardboard to mount, or hang from a dowel.
