Our \u201cArt & Play\u201d program for children ages 2-6 focuses on \u201cprocess art\u201d. With\u00a0process art the fun is all in the doing, there are no rules;\u00a0 it involves exploration and tactile learning with\u00a0no specific outcome.\u00a0 In the end you always end\u00a0up with a work of art, even if it isn\u2019t planned!\u00a0 We host this program once a month at our Central Library.<\/p>\n

For October, we focused on dot painting!\u00a0 We gave the kids dot paints (like bingo marking pens) and blank white paper, and let them have fun!<\/p>\n

The Art Supplies<\/h3>\n

\nWe purchased our Dot paints from Michaels, but you can find them at lots of different retailers, or you could use bingo markers if you have them.<\/p>\n

The Process<\/h3>\n

What can you do with dot paint markers?\u00a0 Does how much you squeeze you make a difference?\u00a0 How hard you bring it down on the paper?\u00a0 Can you write with it?\u00a0 one thing is certain — you can have a lot of fun with them!<\/p>\n

It was amazing to see how many different outcomes you could get with the dot markers.<\/p>\n
