The P1s children learnt about painting routine and off they go to practise. They were only given black paint to to ensure they master the routine and not be too overwhelmed by the instructions. They played with fingerpaint on one side of a folded paper and cover the other side down by giving the back of the paper a good massage. Next, they peeled open the paper and they get the print. We talked about balance and symmetry in an artwork AND since I have a girl who wrote her name and got a mirror-image print, we spoke about letters, numbers and invertion. I challenged them to write their name on a paper at home then stand in front of the mirror and tell me their discovery the following week.
