2. Painting is the practice of applying
paint, pigment, color or other medium
to a solid surface. The medium is
commonly applied to the base with a
brush, but other implements, such as
knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be
used. The final work is also called a
painting.

media. It has qualities of flow and
freedom.
• When painting, a child becomes focused
on the interplay of mind, muscle, action
and interaction.
• Creating a painting for the young child is
a first and foremost a sensory
experience.

• Physically, by using the large muscles of the
arm to control the paint brush.
• Socially, by working alongside others
• Emotionally, by being trusted to handle paint
that is easy to spill and messy to work with,
• Perceptually, by observing the visual effects of
their motions and identifying the resulting
colors, shapes and lines.
7. • Cognitively, by learning a painting
vocabulary and by observing how
paint changes physically when it
mixes and dries, and
• Art awareness, responding to
painting don by the artist.

“How did you make this color?”
“which brush did you use to make this

“why do you think the paint dripped like

own painting to dry. Make sure they wear their
smock on until this chore is done to avoid
accident and stains.
Art Awareness
Display and discuss paintings by artist from
different times and cultures. Focus the discussion
on how the artist made the different colors.
28. Manage Problems
Teachers should determine the cause of troubling
behavior before attempting to correct it. Reflecting
upon the factors influencing a problem will provide a
framework for intervention. For example, if a child is
regularly misbehaving when he or she is sitting next
to a specific friend, rearranging seating may be the
answer. When possible, teachers should help students
learn how to control and modify their behavior before
it escalates into a larger issue. Teachers need to work
together to reinforce intervention strategies. This will
underscore behavioral expectations and maximize
success.
