Textured Tower & Tubes Painting Invitation

The beauty of #processart is that anything and everything can be used as a canvas. This invitation is stacked recycled cardboard boxes wrapped or decorated with recycled packing materials (bubble wrap, packing butcher paper, cds, binding clips ) & some (aluminum foil). Along with tubes we made out of poster paper & packaging materials. For paint we used Colorations Liquid WaterColors & Diluted Metallic Paint from Discount School Supply. The tools the children were invited to use were Learning Resources: twisty droppers, large + small pipettes, & syringes.

The combination of the 3-D shapes & textured surfaces along with the types of out of the ordinary painting tools made for a next level creative process & exploration. So much color theory being tested, science in full force, fine motor skills being enhanced, collaboration, problem solving, and freedom to be had.

Painting in any form provides children with an avenue to express their feelings in a visual way, which further helps their social emotional development. The more a child is exposed to different types of art it leads to seeing the world in different ways, becoming more observant, feeling creative and appreciating the different forms of art. Looking forward to showcasing these amazing pieces along with so much more at our upcoming art show!
