Minibeast Artwork by Tracy McGuinness-Kelly

By Tracy McGuinness-Kelly

Tracy McGuinness-Kelly’s aim for this project was to create a beautiful collaborative collage with the children that would be for permanent display inside the school.

The project tied in with their current topic of minibeasts. There were 83 children aged between 4 and 5 years old. They were broken up into small, manageable groups.

What We Like About This Resource….

“Rachel has contributed some great resources to AccessArt and we really like how this idea captures the concept of ‘returning’ – something that school children will have processed over the past year. We love how this activity encourages hands to feel and move paint about freely – to experience its qualities and tactile nature. You could try this in your setting using different migratory birds such as Ospreys or Swifts as inspiration, with the children looking at images of these birds before trying some observational drawing.” – Rachel, AccessArt.
