Hold on tight! This is a massive post! But it will be worth every visual morsel. First, I am going to share most of the items in Patty's Art Center. Then, following the materials, I have posted a few of the open-ended creations the children created in this center.
I absolutely think it is critical to provide access to open-ended art in the classroom. I love how Patty has provided such a diversity of materials.
Here is art shelf. Below is a peek into those baskets and boxes.
A divided box with an assortment of art treasures.
