This activity requires precise hand movements and enhances hand control. - **Eye-Hand Coordination Activity:** * **Activity Name:** Painting within Lines * **Materials Needed:** Coloring pages with defined shapes and areas, paint, and paintbrushes * **Description:** Provide children with pictures that have clear boundaries and encourage them to paint within the lines. This helps improve their ability to control a brush and coordinate their hand movements with what they see. #### 3.5 Stage of Artistic Development The picture from the provided link depicts the **Pre-Schematic Stage** of artistic development. #### 3.6 Characteristics of the Pre-Schematic Stage - **Characteristics:** * **Emerging Representation:** Children begin to draw recognizable figures, though they might still be distorted or disproportionate. * **Symbolic Thinking:** They start to use symbols to represent objects and people (e.g., a circle for a head with lines for limbs). * **Inconsistent Use of Space:** Drawings might not follow logical spatial relationships and can be scattered or overlapping. - **Color Choices:** * During the pre-schematic stage, children often choose colors more for emotional reasons rather than realism. They might use their favorite colors or those that stand out to them, without worrying about whether these colors match the real-life appearance of the objects they are depicting.
