Students will learn to appreciate the art created not only by them, but by others as well. As they move the wood pieces around, your kinderartists will begin to see shapes and creatures appearing. The object here is not to create a sculpture of anything in particular, but rather to explore and investigate shapes interacting with one another. Once there are some ideas floating around, the pieces of wood can be attached to one another to make wonderful sculpture. Younger kinderartists should be encouraged to work with glue and with adult help, they can use screws to fit the wood together.
Older artists can use nails and hammers to build up their sculptures.
Finally, found object embellishments can be added to complete the picture. It would be a pity to use thick and gooey paint to cover up the wonderful designs and patterns found in the wood grain. At the same time, using wood stain is just not practical in a classroom or other enclosed area as the fumes can be quite toxic. Here we go. Using a stick or paintbrush, mix the paint and water thoroughly.
