Creating art with lines
Taping paintbrushes and crayons together creates a unique art experience while exploring lines in preschool.
If you haven’t spent much time learning about process art then I just have to say… you are really missing out. Process art is all about inviting young children to explore different art materials, supplies, and processes. Over the years, I have tried all kinds of approaches to art and have landed squarely on process art being the very best approach to inspiring young artists.
