Always try to use the best materials that you can lay your
hands on for each art lesson. Safe non-toxic paints with bright colours will
give much better results than cheaper watery colours. Paper weight also makes a
huge difference on the outcome of a painting.
Promote fearfulness.
New techniques sometimes require more than one go at it. Let the children know that they are trying a
new technique today and play with it and get fun ideas. Then the next day you
can do this again using the ideas learnt today. This will get a no fear
creative flow going.
Try to use thoughtful language when working with
children. For example. “Tell me about what you are painting” works much better than saying “what is that you are painting?”
Supervision: This is not just about safety. Children are much more creative when they
feel emotionally attached to what they are trying to create. So if you are painting a winter cold day get
the children outside feeling coolness see the trees with no leaves. Ask questions and get them feeling the mood
and noticing the environment.
Focus on the details. This is one of the major keys to great
artworks in all ages. Just slow down and
focus on what you are about to paint, look at the details this will enhance the
creative outcome.
Bringing it all together…
If you are learning about another country then try to bring
that into the art. Example if you are learning about Japan make some hand fans,
Paris paint the Eiffel tower. This again
adds emotional value and you will get much more creative results.
Each child’s work should be wholly his or her own. Don’t work on someone else’s art work.
Embrace individual style. Respect each other’s differences.
Make sure you have good light to work in. Natural light is
best.
