Spring appeared on classroom tables as kindergarten students worked with plasticine on paper plates, creating their own scenes inspired by what they noticed in nature. Each artwork reflected a child’s view of spring, shaped through layering, pressing and arranging colourful pieces into rainbows, flowers, trees and open skies.
Their work was influenced by reading about and watching the demonstration videos of artist techniques. Using spring visuals as reference points, students imagined their own ideas and began working the plasticine with their hands. Clay was rolled into balls and strings, colours were mixed, shapes were cut with a straight edge and pieces were layered carefully to add depth and detail. As the work developed, simple materials gradually became rich nature scenes full of personality.
The finished artworks were featured during the school’s Welcome to Kindergarten Day, offering new families a glimpse into learning that connects creativity, experimentation and making meaning by hand.
