Art Studio: Mixed Media These experiences let kiddos explore new materials and practice difference ECE skills. They're chances for our visitors to try out some of the cool mediums and supplies we have or want to share. Art Studio: Drawing, Doodling, Discovering We want visitors to experience something new or different. So, think beyond “just drawing.” What can you provide that will encourage discovery & excitement? Consider what they’re drawing on and with. While “draw a platypus” isn’t process art, “draw using curvy lines,” or “only circles” is. Doodling is great for thinking, and it’s an important pre-writing skill. Art Studio is a caregiver directed art-making space where children can explore a variety of art materials, express their creativity and enjoy a different art-making activity every day.
