Overview

The child uses an easel with tempera paints, brushes, and paper to create freely. The vertical surface encourages large arm movements and develops control. Emphasis is on the process rather than the product, allowing the child to explore color, line, and form independently.

Objectives

What the child gains from this work

Develop control of brush and paint on a vertical surface. Explore color mixing and mark making freely. Strengthen shoulder and arm muscles for writing readiness. Experience independence in art setup and cleanup. Foster creative self-expression and aesthetic joy.
