Crafting

Art

• The student learned about different colors and how they can be mixed to create new colors, such as mixing red and blue to make purple.
• They developed their fine motor skills by cutting, gluing, and handling small craft materials like buttons and beads.
• They explored their creativity by making their own designs and patterns, which encouraged their artistic expression.

For continued development, encourage the student to explore different textures and materials in their crafting, such as using tissue paper, fabric scraps, or natural elements like leaves and flowers. This can inspire a deeper understanding of the sensory aspects of art and encourage experimentation with new techniques.
