Year Foundation Visual Art Activities Week 3

Parents, just a quick message to let you know that this activity will require parental supervision.  Also, please only use resources that you may already have at home.

Learning Intention: To understand that children develop eye/hand co-ordination and concepts of shapes and forms when playing with playdough.

Success Criteria:  When students are able to display creativity and imagination, during the process of playdough making.

We love learning and playing with simple kitchen science experiments.  Why Kitchen science?  Because everything you need is already in your kitchen cupboards.  There are so many cool experiments to do at home with household  items.  This experiment is sure to develop a love for not only being creative in art, but also learning through science.  Have lots of fun kids and please remember to film, share and upload your work to me via email and/or a google doc.

REMEMBER GET CREATING!
