THIS IS MY BACKYARD - RÄMÄLÄ - class 3-4
THIS IS MY BACKYARD - painting

The children of the 3rd and 4th class in Rämälä started with the subject "this is my home". On beforehand different forms and characteristics were discussed.
The images show the way how a house can be placed on the paper. Children are also informed how to use the paint and the way they can create different colors by mixing.
The information is on the blackboard during the whole lesson.

Painting is an exiting experience and when it is clear that painting in layers opens various options to change and to detail the first plan children are feeling more free in their work.

     

During the second lesson it is possible to add and to change whatever what. It is an eye opener that a painting is not finished when the paper is full. Just than it is possible to think what can be added to it, to make the house and the environment recognizable as the own home.

     

At the end the works are intensively painted with many nuances and showing a personal handwriting.

The way children start painting is different and it directs them to different outcomes. After one series children are able to start in another way they usually did.

The final paintings will be printed in the book THIS IS MY BACKYARD.
