Dinosaur Art Experience at Nadine's

The children had recently been to the library and borrowed a book about dinosaurs. The children were very interested in the pictures of the fossils. Nadine used the book as a provocation for a painting experience.

The children would refer to the picture each time they put brush to paper. They respectfully and carefully chose their colours to reflect and interpret the picture on display.

This book has prompted lots of discussion about dinosaurs and their history.
