Tools and Texture in the Art Studio

~ It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child. ~ Pablo Picasso

Brynna began to use the new tools in the art studio. The foam brushes were her choice to smooth the bright paint colours. When she folded her painting in half, she was excited to show us the texture that she had created.

Addison watched Brynna and decided to fold her painting too.  The lines that she had made with the scraping and raking tools disappeared.  She reached for the raking tool again then signed her name when she finished adding the texture she was looking for.

The children continued to experiment with texture and mixing colours with the raking and scraping tools.  

The addition of classical music made for a very artistic atmosphere!

Wonder if Jackson Pollock started like this?!
