Water colors in the open workshops

2019-03-21-watercolours-3_580_773

The theme of colors is extending from our early learning program into the open workshops were the children worked with lots of water color in the past few weeks. They made color rays on paper, explored color mixing, created butterflies and worked with printing flowers with water colors.

The quality of watercolors brings a soft and flowing element to the children and they can  explore without strict structure. Rachel who runs the workshops in Stanford encouraged the children to just fill their pages with colors and see what happens when the colors mix. She says: ” The children just love working like this”.

You cant use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have. Maya Angelou
