The course teaches children to acquire painting techniques and is a useful and enjoyable activity for all age groups. Watercolors, tempera, and wax crayons are easy-to-use tools for children aged 5 and above. They are used during preschool as an essential prerequisite for writing. The use of tempera for color representation allows distinguishing primary and secondary colors as well as cutouts to enhance manual dexterity.Construction and fitting activities are essential to promote imagination, creativity, new idea development, goal planning, and problem-solving. The painting and craft workshop is divided into two phases based on the techniques used and the complexity of learning.
Specifically:
The level two craft course involves more complex techniques and more abstract cognitive thinking, requiring the acquisition of more abstract concepts such as depth and perspective. It may be easily acquired by children aged 9 and above. However the use of the dot technique, watercolor technique, and character cutouts can be useful and enjoyable activities for younger children as well. In particular, the dot technique representing day and night can promote calmness and concentration while also introducing the concept of time (day-night). The craft course 1-2 is suitable for children of all age groups indicated. Parental support is recommended for the use of materials such as scissors or for more complex activities with younger children.
