I want to try it. The childr...oh this is brilliant! I want to try it. The children in the classroom are 3 years old the youngest in the kindergarten. February intake. They are still settling in and learning about the new environment, however outdoor play and messy play is on the agenda nearly everyday. They love it. We don't have a strict curriculum to follow, only 5 outcomes and we can do what we like to get them there, so I am choosing (as much as I can) the Reggio approach. It is not easy as resources are very limited. I will show you the results of this :) , thank you as always and I know I must have said this already, but your posts and blog are my inspiration. :) good day xDinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915306323006971277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092053382843096891.post-62746603384272948402016-02-15T21:32:14.850+01:002016-02-15T21:32:14.850+01:00the children were 4 and 5 yrs doing this project.....the children were 4 and 5 yrs doing this project... it might be possible with younger ones...<br /><br />I start with plastic (I laminate without paper in it) and use paper clips to fasten a photo portrait of the children. The children then use a permanant marker... I did this one by one to give the children support... to help them think about the shape of the face, where the lines were and to keep to the outlines not to colour in... for many children there is an automatic for colouring in...<br /><br />Then in the next session I put the plastic sheet with outlines onto a overhead so the portrait is projected onto paper I have put up... I divide the paper into as many sections as a need for the group. The childrn work in pairs to draw on the paper the outlines with pencil.<br /><br />Then when all portraits are done, they then work in pairs in the light to paint black on the pencil. They get some help from us teachers to alllow the process to go a bit quicker and to reach some of the spots that are a little higher. Depending on the children and their focus abaility... the most important is taking part...<br /><br />Then the next session is colouring in... the background first... then the week after the face... then one more to finish off...<br /><br />We did this once a week... so it never got too overwhelming as a project... and the children were very excited to do it.Suzanne Axelsson - Interaction Imaginationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513322963337168674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092053382843096891.post-24483785534407568452016-02-15T06:56:59.910+01:002016-02-15T06:56:59.910+01:00I have always like this post about portraits, and ...I have always like this post about portraits, and wonder if now I could do this with my 3 year olds. How did you start this project? Such and interesting and fun project. Would love to know how long it took, the ages and the steps to doing it :) <br /><br />Good day.
