Going Green

"It's going green!"-Caroline

It's a new month and the color green is returning to the trees. Not to mention, St. John's birthday month color is represented by green on our birthday calendar, and of course there is the holiday of lucky green on the way. Our paint palette of pinks, reds, and purples was almost finished, and we had already gone through our blue period with focus given to St. John's blue door so it was time to refresh our paints with a new color palette. And this is where the color green comes into play. Also, with more talk around Toad and green paints available, who knows... perhaps Toad will return, if only in a painting.

​Our musically inclined group of children influenced a choice to bring songs into the experience of painting. The music and the cheerful color palette added fresh and different energy, focus, and interest to the language of painting.

"I heard sounds.
​I painted." -George 

What kind of sounds?

"Song sounds."
​-George

"It was songs." -Lillian

"We're making paintings for making music." -Cully

"I need more colors. I need red." -Henri

"I made these tiny dots.
​And I'm going to paint a circle." -Eliza

Painting gradually becomes print making! 

"Can you save my painting for me?" -George
