Team Three Artists

After observing the self-portraits painted by the artists on Team Three, Pam, a student Early Childhood Educator working with Area 6 and occasionally Area 3, wanted to change the materials available for the updated versions. She replaced the large paint brushes with medium- and small -sized brushes and added natural skin tones for artists to choose from. This activity met one of the specific expectations for visual arts in the Full-Day Early Learning – Kindergarten curriculum, namely, “explore a variety of tools, materials, and processes of their own choice to create visual art forms in familiar and new ways.

Pam worked with students one-on-one to discuss individual choices and it seemed like most artists were pleased with their updated paintings. To that end, the original portraits which had always been my favourite things in our room, have been covered by equally beautiful paintings created under the guidance of Pam, a most natural and talented educator. On behalf of Team Three I would like to thank both Pam and Su for sharing so many of their great ideas in the short time that they were with us. We wish you both nothing but the best in all of your future endeavours!
