During the preschool years children make incredible advances in their ability to create a self or family-portrait. Awareness of self and others, as well as more skillful fine motor development allow children to progress from a controlled scribble to a figure with a head and limbs with details being added as their ideas develop. The following are stages of artistic development to look for in your child’s art work.
We do portraits such as these multiple times per year to see how children’s perceptions and abilities change!
Scribble Stage
Beginning of Precision
Pre-Schematic Stage
Two ways toward realism
Human Figures
Symbolism and Schema Stage

Here is another simple but exciting art experience for preschoolers that uses every day materials that most people have at home.
You need: paper plates, shaving cream, food coloring, a craft stick (or use a spoon!), and paper for marbling.
First spray a good layer of shaving cream on your paper plate and then add some drops of color.
Use your stick to swirl the colors through the saving cream.
When you like how it looks lay your paper over the top and press it into the shaving cream.
Pull the paper off carefully and you will see your marbling is transferred to the paper.
Use a straight edge, half a paper plate will work, to scrape the shaving cream off the finished print and let it dry.
Here are some of our young artists hard at work and a few few of their creations on display.
This is a great art experience for small hands that you can do at home.
Use a foam roller to spread washable paint on the table or other rigid surface.
Children can create their picture using a cotton swab to make lines in the paint. This is wonderful fine motor control practice for emerging writers.
When the child it ready, place a piece of paper over the top and work together to rub all over the back of the paper.
When you lift the paper the drawing is transferred!
Here are our young artists with their gallery of prints from today’s art making.
