Learning Experience

Spray Painting

Date:___________

Objective: Children to develop motor skills while using their creativity through spray painting.

Materials

Instructions

Plastic Spray Bottles

1. Let children freely spray the paint.

Water colour powder or food colouring and water in spray bottles (beware of thicker paint consistencies as paint with any thickness can clog the spray nozzles)

Paper (large butchers paper is ideal or mural sheets along a wall or fence)

Art Aprons

(Ensure you label the bottle with WATER PAINT as it's not safe to leave spray bottles unlabelled)

2.Discuss discoveries and important topics like: spraying in one place too long might rip paper. colour mixing as it runs down the page. making sure paper is down wind, or spray will bow on you. safety? don't spray on other and why.

Key Learning Areas (Skills and Knowledge)

Early Years Learning Framework Outcomes* Outcome 1: Children

Literacy/Vocabulary (English)

Making individual representations of pictures and talking about them with each other.

increasingly co-operate and work collaboratively with others, celebrating shared contributions to mural making.

Outcome 2: Children -

Numeracy

Measurement - full, half, quarter, 1 teaspoon, 2 cups. Talk about quantities of how much water and how much colour we will need to use.

understand different ways of contributing and problems solving to group experiences through spray and mural painting.

Outcome 3: Children -

engage in increasingly complex motor skills and movement patterns through spraying bottles.

Studies of Society and Environment

Talk about different cultures, that traditionally used spray painting to paint caves and rocks. How did they spray the paint? (mouth as no spray bottles were invented).

Science

Outcome 4: Children -

develop curiosity, cooperation, confidence, creativity and imagination, working on individual and joint art work.

manipulate objects and experiment with cause and effect, trial and error, motion and problem solving through spraying bottles and relief painting.

develop ability to mirror, repeat, and practice actions of others, either immediately or later when using spray bottles.

Make connections between concepts, processes and experiences in relation to their spray painting and indigenous cultures from around the world.

Function, trial and error - what may happen if you put a thick paint in the bottle. Trial this and make discoveries.

Function of the spray bottle - how does the coloured water get out of the bottle the way it does. If its' a changeable nozzle talk about how it sprays and squirts when you move the nozzle. Ask why do you think it does this?. (scientific discussion of a vacuum)

Developing the action of squirting the bottle (bio-mechanics)

The Arts

Abstract thoughts, Free Expression. Application using a spray bottle

Outcome 5: Children -

Technology

Demonstrate an understanding of measurement and Research different cave art from around the world and

quantities when measuring and mixing paint.

Australian Indigenous cultures.

Interact with others to discuss new experiences like spray painting.

use the internet to research information on relief paintings from around the world.

Linked Experiences All forms of painting, particularly hand and foot printing (relief prints as done by Aboriginals)

Extension Ideas.

Use different sizes of paper or spray bottles

Limit the colours to primary colours and mix them on the paper.

have items children can place on paper (including hands, shapes, plastic animals, items from nature) and see what shapes are left after you spray over them.
