This fall in our kitchen school I am making an effort to do "art" with my daughter and not just crafts. Crafts are projects with a specific end in mind--like decorating a pumpkin with cut paper. Art is exploring with materials and is more open-ended.
Here is an example--we used chalk on black paper. We explored the way it writes and how you can rub it to get it to smear. After we worked with the materials I put them out in her art area for further exploration.
She was not real engaged in this artwork, so we'll try it again another day!
Stay tuned for more posts on our adventures into ART!
