Learn by doing: children learn to actively paint. The child uses paint colours and holds a paint brush
and paints a picture. They learn different paint techniques by being actively involved
Learn be experience: The child learns that in order to paint a picture they may need to use different
paint brushes varying in thickness. This is a trial and error approach to learning. The more experience
the child gets, the less errors will occur.
Learn by linking the mind, brain and body together: The child creates a mental image of what they
want to paint, the brain interprets the information, and the body carries it out. So in order to create
an image of a painted house, the brain interprets this image based on past memories. The brain
sends a message down to the hand and the child knows to pick up a paint brush and to paint.
Learn by constructing your own storehouse of knowledge and creative ability: The child learns to
paint by actively painting. This information is stored in memory. The child learns that through mixing
certain colours, a new colour can be formed. The child is now able to paint more creatively.
Learn from activities that are real life: an activity should be based on the child’s reality. So if you ask
them to paint a picture of their house, each picture will vary. One child may draw a house , one may
draw a block of apartments, one may draw a shanty house. By doing this, each child learns the
different forms of houses.
Learn by collaborating: This means that children work together to achieve a common goal. For
example: if you give them a poster to paint, the children need to work together to decide on which
pictures should be certain colours and they take turns in painting. By doing this you are teaching
each child to follow ‘social rules’ and to follow socially acceptable behaviour.
