During their time in the Foundation Stage, children are introduced to a variety of different mark-making techniques. They are encouraged to use all of their senses in creating collages, paintings, drawings and 3D models. Observation skills are developed and children are encouraged to choose materials and techniques in order to express their own ideas. |
