Painting the garden with hands

There is something magical on children's faces when they can get their hands in paint. The flowers on the painting were done by hand. Outside on a tarpoline again with dishes of paint. We used a limited palette of yellow, red, and white, allowing the students to really experiment with blending colours. The delight on their faces when they found pink or orange appeared on their painting. They soon got stuck in making shapes and patterns with every part of their hands. To prevent the paint mixing up and becoming like mud, the students washed their hands when they got a different colour from the trays. The results are stunning. At present we are busy mounting them. The finished photos will be posted soon.
