Though we provided 4 different kinds of art materials, it was my first time to see this group gather in the same table without any directives. I was happy to see the group dynamic has became cohesive.
Here are some experiments they made with aluminum wires.
 |
| This girl wanted to make a mobile, so she started to make the hanger and the board with regards. |
Yes, we noticed that there were not enough space for "day" in the board.
 |
| So she made another board with paper and tapes, then she hung them together with her wonderful mobile artwork! |
 |
| This boy hold the end of the beads carefully, preventing those beads from falling down. |
 |
| He wanted to stabilize these beads. |
 |
| Then he used tapes to wrap the wire, making it thicker so the beads wouldn't move anymore! |
Above are examples I observed during the art making process. There are many excellent ideas of problem-solving happening here. Sometimes they did ask for help, but mostly they have their own creative ideas. I really encourage adults to wait patiently, giving our children a chance to try their way first. In that, we can also learn from our artists!
