One thing I need to do is find a way of tracking the PD I do and whilst I grapple with the many different options I'm going to post some images from the Art in Literacy course I did in term 3.

Not all the activities and skills taught would be possible with a group of 5 or 6 year olds but perhaps there is a way to adapt some of the ideas.

Quite like this, done using a finger only, starting with blue paint and then working up to the lighter paints. Was copying an image which is a great way to get some focus!

Think of a word to describe what is important to you, fold your paper and write it then cut it out. Draw a border and add more information.

This picture was done using a vivid for part and then water colour pencils for the colouring. When water is sprayed on the pencil it runs. Mine doesn't really show this! The writing is a Haiku (5,7,5).
