Cara introduced Amy and her mom to her classmates and assisted as Amy shared her special gifts.
Cara's mom and friend Amy visited with our class to share a very special art project that incorporates art and nature. Amy is an artist who loves to paint on rocks! She is inspired by the beauty and magic of nature and spends lots of time outdoors connecting with nature. Amy talked to our children about her painting style and described the techniques she uses to paint intricate pictures and designs on rocks.
We learned that Amy paints directly onto the rocks and that most of her ideas come from an image she has in her mind. She does not sketch her designs and drawings first, rather she paints 'free-hand'. Amy goes to many different places to find rocks that she feels she wants to paint.
The children had the opportunity to paint their own picture or design on rocks during Choice Time. Amy guided the art experience and the children enjoyed this new surface to paint on.
Cara loved sharing her family and friend with her PreK friends!
