Lesson 12 : Developmental Levels in Art in Children

Printing

Printing with objects is an art activity that is appropriate for the age, ability and interest level of young preschool children. In a basic printing activity, the child learns that an object dipped in or brushed with paint makes its own mark or print on paper. Children use small muscles of the hand and wrist as they hold the object, dip it in paint, and print with it on paper. They learn that each object has its own unique quality and shape since each thing makes its own imprint.
