Learning to appreciate and interact with art is a vital component of a holistic approach to child development.

The Giraffe children have been engaging with different medium through their curriculum. 

Rather than intervene when the hand panting began, the Educators allowed the children time to explore the texture of the paint, to compare the marks that they were making with the brush and with their hands, spoke with the children about the colour, temperature and placement of their marks and provided more materials when they needed them.

The educators further enriched the art experience by adding music to the room.

Classical music has been shown to ignite synapses in the brain than other types of music do not reach so the educators purposefully chose a selection of classical music to accompany the experience.

The easels were not our usual easels either, these easels were made by the Educators to allow the children to get to a lower level. 

They were made by binding corflute posters that were donated by our local council.
