Pre-1st Explorations

Pre-first art is about the exploration of materials and learning studio habits. Because children enter pre-first with an array of abilities and their learning often come through the senses (touch, smell, sight, and sometimes even taste), exploration is a key part of their experience in the art room. The opportunity to explore different art materials helps children gain understanding of the limits and possibilities of each given material. While exploring materials, pre-first students also begin to learn good studio habits for the handling and use of different tools and materials.
