During the OpeArtEdu project the teachers were developing the information they
were discussing in the meetings. Through the way how to formulate a subject,
what goals and how to guide the child in its work and how to exam the
quality of the work were the main items.
Related to the regular work new assignments were started and discussed
afterwards. The materials could be different. There were assignments like:
Bremen town-musicians, birds flying up into the air, me and my friend.
The works are executed in paint (gouache), pastel and crayon. Paint is an
important material because it gives a long time the possibility to change
the work layer after layer. The intensity of the work will grow by the
different layers. The way how the brush can be used and how the foreground
and the background are related to each other are able to grow during the
work.
The quality of the material is important. Gouache is a perfect material for
building up layers and changing during the process. Only a few colors are
necessary -WHIT-CITRON YELLOW- YELLOW OCHRE - VERMILLION (OR SCARLET) RED -
CARMINE (OR MAGENTA) RED - LIGHT BLUE AND ULTRAMARINE BLUE
As a colored crayon NEO COLOR I is a perfect material it has a high
percentage of pigment, the binder is bee wax and the colors are brilliant.
