Dear Families:
I am so excited to announce that our "Beautiful Stuff" self-portraits are up in the hallway for all to see. The children did an amazing job in portraying themselves with odd materials. I am so impressed.
To a young child, the world is full of materials to touch, discover and explore. To find, collect, sort, and use materials is to embark on a special kind of adventure. For adults, gathering materials means rediscovering the richness and beauty in natural, unexpected, and recyclable objects that are all around us, but not often noticed.
One way to rediscover our own creative impulses is to see possibilities in materials. Children possess a natural openness to the potential of materials. When adults become aware of this process, they find ways to watch and listen to children. Children and adults become collaborators as they discover, collect, sort, arrange, experiment, create, construct, and think with materials. The goal is to allow children to become fluent with materials – as if materials were a language.
K-207 enjoyed learning with our “Beautiful Stuff” and created these wonderful self portraits. Please stop by and take a look. We would love to share our Art with all of you. Enjoy!
Fondly,
Ms. Graham
