This morning in the Oak room, some art students from CMU came in to share a special project with the children. The children painted pictures of trees using photos of the four seasons as inspiration.
The children's hands and wrists were painted brown to create the trunk and branches of the tree. Then children could choose from a number of different colors and use their fingers to put leaves on the tree.
"I'm gonna keep it on forever!"
said Larry as he pressed his hand down hard onto the paper.
Joey painted some red leaves on his tree. Then he said, "I need green," and painted some green leaves onto his tree as well.
Through this activity, children used their hands to dig into the paint and create
unique pieces of artwork to take home to their families.
