The lessons in the school were executed by Riitta Moisander, and Marja
de Jong, both authorities in the field of art education and with many years
of experiences. Both were writing and publishing many articles and and
books about art and art education.
The lessons during this project have been started with an introduction with
the works of artists. It is good to see the differences and the way they
choose for the colors, the forms and the composition.
The relation person and background was the main item in this series of art
lessons. It is related what is the meaning of the color of the background.
Children have a good eye for looking after these items and they were very
concentrated in finding an personal answer for these questions.

To start painting and coloring it is good to give a clear
assignment. In this series of lessons the portrait was the main item, but
there is chosen for different options. One group was working
Every child gets its own palette with paint and to start a 'bigger'
brush. It is important to start with the big forms and not with the details.
Making big forms is easier with a bigger brush. The children are mixing the
colors all the time by putting a little bit of two colors on the brush. In
this way they are able to make their own personal mixed colors and nuances.
The art works of professional artists are giving during the working process
all the time a reflection on the own work. It expands the visual language of
children. Without visual information a child cannot develop its
possibilities. |

During the work it is important to see how each painting/drawing grows.
Most of the guiding is individual related to the personal work of the child.
Sometimes it needs to give extra information about the possibilities to the
whole group.

During the lessons children are working very concentrated and were
looking own solutions. New views are often possible after talking and
discussing. The result is that the world can have many ways to be
visualized.

Wax crayon can also be used layer over layer, and it is possible to
redesign an image several times. These layers are making the the image more
interesting and stronger.
