What Children can learn through watercolour
Observation & Experimentation of the interaction of salt on water and colour pigment.
1.Observation
Watercolour encourages children to slow down and really look- at colour, light, texture, shapes and changes in their surroundings.
2.Experimentation
Water behaves differently depending on how much is used, how pigment is applied and what happens when colours meet. Children will discover that not every outcome can be completely controlled.
Will effects stand out on darker colours or lighter colours- decision-making
3. Decision-making
Which colours should I use? Where should I place this? Should I leave this area white? They make artistic decisions rather than simply following instructions.
4. Problem-solving
A colour becomes too dark. A shape doesn't work. The paper becomes too wet. Instead of "correcting" everything, children have to find solutions.
5. Patience and adaptability
Watercolour rewards waiting, layering and responding to unexpected results.
6. Artistic Voice
Most importantly, especially in Avid Art Studio: two children can be given the same subject and produce completely different paintings. This watercolour workshop becomes an opportunity to discover how they see, not just whether they can reproduce something accurately.
Watercolour wet-on-wet "Curious Mynah" (Age 7)
Watercolour wet-on-wet "The Crow family" (Age 5)
Watercolour wet-on-wet "Busy Robins" (Age 8)
Watercolour wet-on-wet "Beautiful Peacock" (Age 7)
At Avid Art Studio, we welcome structured freedom where children might be taught a new technique, but every child has the freedom to create and express their own content. Creativity and Skills go hand-in-hand naturally.
