Rainbow Mountain - FAS Tues/Thurs Class
January 6, 2017, 08:00 AMWith the abundant
snowfall that we got in the past weeks, we decided to take art outside. The
children like playing in the snow and painting so why not combine both?
We took our watercolors, brushes and cups of water outside. At first, the children were all painting on the ground.
Then, the big clump of snow on the table caught Mia’s attention. She touched the big clump but it did not fall apart.
Tiffany said, “ It looks like a mountain”.
Sabrina replied with “A snowy mountain”.
Rea started to paint the mountain and all the other girls followed.
Mia encouraged everyone to paint the whole mountain so it can be a “Rainbow Mountain”. The girls were all dedicated in painting to cover the whole mountain with color.

The girls were able to work together and communicate their ideas to
each other. Instead of usually doing an individual art, this activity gave the
children a chance to work on a collective project.
This activity enhanced the children’s ability to work in a group as well as their creativity and imagination.
