I have preschool kids and some with disabilities, so it has to be pretty simple. I want to try to do something for the Painted Word exhibit. I am going to get them to each paint (with bingo markers) the letters of their names on a piece of paper along with their "unique special symbol" which each has on their classroom lables which they use to identify their work. Then I want to somehow frame them individually and then as a whole to make one piece of artwork. Then submit to PW committee and hope it gets into show. If so, I will take a picture and copy it so each child can have a copy to share with their loved ones that they were in an art show. I may incorporate a story or song, I'm not sure yet, it's pretty iffy with the young ones on how much and what we can do.
Lacey Graves and I did do the project mentioned above. I carried the project out and read White Rabbit's Color Book to both the am and pm classes. It was a big success. We worked with four kids at a time and the other students who were waiting had a hard time doing so. Some did not want to leave the table. The second picture above was painted with the hand and fingers of a child with multiple disabilites including very poor eyesight and very few motor skills at all. He cannot control most of his muscles but was able to enjoy feeling the wet paint and pushing aver the paper with the help of his wonderful teacher. It was a magical experience. The also really got into my story and participated by answering questions about the mixing of colors before I would turn to the next page. I was amazed that a couple of the 4 year olds knew that red and blue made purple and that red, blue and yellow made brown. Great experience.
