The Physical Act of Dance Painting

Term: 4 Year: 2018

Dance painting at East West Child Care and Kindergarten is an activity where the physical act of painting is an essential part of the finished work.

Music is the cue to start painting! The children are ‘scientists’ as they mix paint to create new colours. They approach their shared canvas – a length of paper that snakes around the building – with loaded brushes and a sense of curiosity. Some children paint independently, others create together. They paint zig zags to the beat of the music, squeeze paint directly on to the paper, and co-construct imagery.
