“INCORPORATION OF ART AS A TEACHING STRATEGY IN THE CURRICULUM OF THE SCHOOL”

At kindergarten "Latinka" we pay special attention to the way different types of art are being comprehended. This helps us approach the children's development at an early age.

Kids at the age of 3-4 start off by gluing different types of forms which are already cut and then they form different images. The main task here is gluing.

They combine various forms which have been cut from the kids of the age 4-5 .The kids add up a lot of other forms to their project and after that they get their personal all around unique project done.

By using delicious candy, colorful ribbons and a lot of imagination the kids sharpen up their skills in double and triple layering .

To expand their art skills we give the kids the choice to pick their own materials .

We use different color combinations to give more character to the final product.

We have a surprise for mom - delicious candy, wrapped like a flower. This is then of course brought up to her with a lot of love .

5-6-year-olds do carving art from mandarins . In the carved mandarins they put tea candles and then they decorate the table .

That's how we put the main staples of esthetic and cultural education .

All the artistic activities that we showcase help the cognitive performance of the kids. By combining shapes and colors we help the children to form rhythmical combining skills.

The final product of the children's artistic activity is a beautiful necklace for their mothers.

The little artists learn a technique called "decoupage" in which they use colorful paper to decorate various surfaces .The variety of colors and shapes contributes to the development of the child's imagination in various ways .

Unique decoupages made by our 5-6 year old children.

By using their favorite color, the kids leave a hand print and create an unique group painting .

SMILE!

When appliquéing the kids use different colors, materials, shapes and techniques. That helps them form a better and unique character as a person later on in their life.

The 7 year olds from kindergarten Latinka, used their artistic skills and made wonderful gift cards for friends, family, etc.

Thank you for your attention!!!
