Process Paintings are Beautiful!

Once again I am humbled by the exploratory and adventurous art-making attitudes of the lambies. This week I wanted to give them another chance just to play with color and different painting tools.

I cannot believe how beautiful these paintings turned out and how engaged these little ones were with the materials. I put out bowls of tempera paint that each had two colors plus white, foam brushes, foam stencil brushes (round on the bottom), and foam rollers that had a variety of textures on them. I also put out some large squares of colored tissue paper but these didn't seem to hold too much interest for most of the kids.

I love the progression of the process that I inadvertently captured with this little lambie:

Here she is just starting her exploration with color and texture.

Adding some variety of color here.

Here you can see she has really played with the materials.

And voila! A masterpiece!

Here are some other lambies at work:

As always, I love how different each painting came out!

Another successful day of process art with the sweetest little lambies out there!
