Childrens Mark Making

Children will decorate and experiment mark making on different fabrics, surfaces and recycled materials mixing methods such as, paint, printing with unusual objects and drawing with handmade tools.
We will use tactile paints and unusual dyes to colour our work including berries and tea bags. Wrapping twigs and decorating our pieces with chunky stitch.
The aim is to push the boundaries and be adventurous creating mixed media pieces out of everyday things found in their home.
