Painting is an art form that involves applying paint to a surface. When children paint, they develop physically by using arm muscles to control brushes, socially by working with others, emotionally by being trusted with messy paint, perceptually by observing visual effects, cognitively by learning painting vocabulary, and in art awareness by responding to artwork. Suitable painting materials for young children include tempera paints, brushes, sponges and rollers. Activities should allow for open-ended exploration, color mixing, and focus on the process rather than products. Teachers should observe children closely and ask open-ended questions to encourage learning during painting.

1. Painting

2. Painting is the practice of applying
paint, pigment, color or other medium
to a solid surface. The medium is
commonly applied to the base with a
brush, but other implements, such as
knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be
used. The final work is also called a
painting.

4. • Paint is entirely different from other
media. It has qualities of flow and
freedom.
• When painting, a child becomes focused
on the interplay of mind, muscle, action
and interaction.
• Creating a painting for the young child is
a first and foremost a sensory
experience.

6. When children Paint, they develop:
• Physically, by using the large muscles of the
arm to control the paint brush.
• Socially, by working alongside others
• Emotionally, by being trusted to handle paint
that is easy to spill and messy to work with,
• Perceptually, by observing the visual effects of
their motions and identifying the resulting
colors, shapes and lines.

7. • Cognitively, by learning a painting
vocabulary and by observing how
paint changes physically when it
mixes and dries, and
• Art awareness, responding to
painting don by the artist.

9. Painting Materials/Tools for Young
Children• Paintbrushes

11. Paints for Young Children
• Tempera comes in containers with tight-fitting lid so
that unused paint can be saved for the next day.

12. • Tempera blocks comes in a dry cakes. Children
must wet their brush to dampen the cube for
use.

13. • Watercolors, because of a small size of the
individual water colors in a set, are more suitable
for children with well-developed fine motor skills.
They also stain clothing more easily than
tempera. Before applying watercolor, dampen the
paper first by applying water using a sponge or
paint brush.

• As children develop better control of
their muscles and the fluid nature of
paint, they are now ready for a wider
variety of activities.
• Aside from basic painting activities,
offer them use of more colors and
kinds of paint as well as experiment
with adding textures to the paint.

23. • Group Composition: Groups of 3 and up
• Setup: 1 easels for five children , put a piece of
plastic under the easel to catch the drip and cover
the table with newspaper.
• Materials:
Paints
Paper
Painting tools

foster concentration and reflection.

25. • What to say:

own painting to dry. Make sure they wear their
smock on until this chore is done to avoid
accident and stains.
Art Awareness
Display and discuss paintings by artist from
different times and cultures. Focus the discussion
on how the artist made the different colors.

27. Activity

28. Manage Problems
Teachers should determine the cause of troubling
behavior before attempting to correct it. Reflecting
upon the factors influencing a problem will provide a
framework for intervention. For example, if a child is
regularly misbehaving when he or she is sitting next
to a specific friend, rearranging seating may be the
answer. When possible, teachers should help students
learn how to control and modify their behavior before
it escalates into a larger issue. Teachers need to work
together to reinforce intervention strategies. This will
underscore behavioral expectations and maximize
success.

29. Observe and
analyze the
following
pictures in the
next slides.
As a teacher
someday, how
would you
handle the
following
scenario in a
classroom
setting.
