Magic Art

By Buket Ozdel Gurol




In the first day of our second week, we started with the girls for art & craft. They came and sat wishfully. When we started to give the instructions for the friendship tree, they immediately began the activity. After they selected their hand which was drew and colored by them last week, they were choosing a place on this huge tree to stick their hand. You should once witness how they take it seriously.

And the boys followed them by a wild energy and participated the activity in a faster energy. At last when we started to get the 5 year old ones, we realized that the number of them highly increased. This made us understood that we should provide a place for newcomers who would make the activity from the scratch, and we were already ready for that due to our skills about flexibility improved day by day in the academy.

In the second day, when we announced the magical painting to the girls, they got excited. When we started the activity when they realized that they can not see what they’re drawing with the wax according to the “Help a Friend” theme, they were confused a bit. After they started painting with watercolor their faces started to change from confusion to clarity and curiosity. When they finish they were very much pleased with their work.

We selected the Scratching Paint Activity for the high energetic boys which can make them concentrate for longer time. When they started painting their paper with colorful pastels, they were quiet pleased. When the time passed and they were still on the same part of the activity, a few of their bodies started to show moodiness. However we kept them in the activity by the help of God :) and when the second step started to cover their paper with black, they tried complaining this time. As they saw our determination, they continued. Hopefully when they started scratch their dark painted paper, as they saw the outcome, they were more pleased. At the end of the day I could say that our strategy was right!
