https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4 How does art work? How is art connected to all materials? how can art be related in ECE settings ? en-us 2023-05-19 07:15:05 UTC 2026-01-30 15:15:03 UTC hello@padlet.com shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2597344326 This artistic journal is about how art can be defined using six different materials. The chosen materials are paper, light, charcoal ,clay, paint, and music. 
I would say, art comes out from creativity. Material that has been chosen can be used to  create art. I would explore how art could be connected to the materials. And how art could be used in an ECE setting when teaching the children. 
I will be focusing on the process of the materials than the final product. As  focusing on the process would make us explore more about the specific material ]]> 2023-05-19 07:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2597344326 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598012585 I started the process with exploring how paper could be used to make art. First i staretd to randomly tear of pieces of paper. which made the paper scatter all over the table. Then I took another piece of paper and crumbled it until i found that i have a made a paper ball. i just droppped down the paper ball between the scattered paper. The final product is shown in the last picture. Which i think that could be an artisitic flower. ]]> 2023-05-19 21:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598012585 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598012658 As said by Pacini-Ketchabaw et al. (2016) "paper scatters,bunches,tears,folds and bends"(p.30). I expereineced all of these facts about paper with my above exploration. Also said by Pacini-Ketchabaw et al. (2016) "we find that nothing about it is static and everything is in motion".(p.31) This in relates to the fact how paper is a material that would be related to motion. Yet, the it was so artistic how the scattered paper and the paper ball made up a flower at the end. ]]> 2023-05-19 21:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598012658 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598012783 2023-05-19 21:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598012783 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598012885 2023-05-19 21:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598012885 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598034996 2023-05-19 22:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598034996 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598035171 2023-05-19 22:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598035171 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598035371 2023-05-19 22:53:58 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598035371 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598043194 2023-05-19 23:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598043194 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598044632 2023-05-19 23:25:45 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598044632 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598046509 2023-05-19 23:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598046509 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598050195 2023-05-19 23:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598050195 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598060079 2023-05-20 00:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598060079 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598060210 2023-05-20 00:13:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598060210 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598060353 2023-05-20 00:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598060353 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598060510 2023-05-20 00:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598060510 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598136206 Paper can be used in ECE classrooms to teach children about art. I have discovered how paper is not only being used for drawing or reading. In a classroom, paper could be used for many various things such as craft work. for example, paper crumbles could be used for decorative purposes in an artistic manner.

The objects were reflected on the wall using the projector. As seen on the first picture, I have used a ribbon reel and some paper cut fish. I tried reflecting the fish and the reel on the wall by making different movements. Images seen on the walls by the reflections were so artistic that it felt like some fish swimming in a pond. The reel would be something like a bush in the pond.]]> 2023-05-20 04:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598148095 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598154616 As said by Mahshulah et al. (2020)"Ray of Light Atelieris a place to investigate the use of light in various forms"(p.787). This is how I explored light accordingly. I would say light was discovered in the concept of art. The final product of the process showed how light could be simply used to represent something in an imaginary way.

The children would be able to explore their own artistic ideas using the projector. The children can use many different objects to explore through the reflection. The children would be able to develop there thinking skills by using the light reflections.

When I first had the clay in hand it was slimy that I felt how it could be made into any desired shape. First I rolled it with my hands till it gave a shape of a ball. And then thought of what I could do with those. Then I used a piece of wood and tried to stabilise it on each end of the clay balls. Which at the end gave an artistic bridge I would say.]]> 2023-05-20 06:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598179661 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598199445 As said by Pacini-Ketchabaw et al. (2016)"Clay makes plenty of demands"(p.63). Clay could be formed in many different states. Clay could be slimy and wet in hot weather. While it would be more hardened and brittle in a cold weather. When  clay cracks, it returns to dust.(Pacini-Ketchabaw et al., 2016) The above philosophies show how clay could be in its different states. In the above exploration clay showed its artistic facts by holding down the beautiful artistic bridge by its sides

I used the paint brush and started mixing the paints. I started drawing whatever I felt like drawing. I kept on mixing colours. Where it led to a  beautiful mesh. To make it more artistic I made laid a leaf on the art. And tried writing my name on it with different colours.

My most favourite material from childhood was paint. For, paint is all about colours. As said by Pacini-Ketchabaw et al. (2016) “Paint affords the children influence and a presence in the assemblage”(p.51). This makes me feel the connection between paint and what I try to create through it.]]> 2023-05-20 09:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598225018 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598226009 Paint is famous among all kids in an ECE setting. Kids love to do paintings. Also, since paint is more related to the concept of art, it would be more ethical for the kids to learn about art through paint.

I started the process by getting a charcoal piece to my hand. I felt how it light it was. I first laid it on paper and discovered how it leaves out black stains. then I broke the big piece into two. which made me clear that it was brittle. Then I started to scrub down the charcoal on the white paper.  Which in turn tuned into a sketch.]]> 2023-05-20 10:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598245421 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598254716 Charcoal was used to explore its concept as art. As said by Pacini-Ketchabaw et al. (2016)"To touch charcoal is to be touched, to be affected, to be moved" (p.46). This confirms the fact how I felt the connection between charcoal when I got hold of it. Using charcoal for the sketch showed how charcoal can be used in an artistic manner. in my childhood memories I have used charcoal to play with my friends outdoors. specially to scribble on objects. ]]> 2023-05-20 10:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598254716 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598256445 Charcoal can be used in ECE settings to children specially when outdoors. But I suggest better caution should be taken as the charcoal dust could be toxic to inhale.

As shown in the videos I tried to make different sounds using different materials. I found out that a tensioned ribbon could make out rhythmic sounds. Also banging two cardboard cylinders made sounds which were different from the previous sounds that the strings made. This exploration showed how different materials could be used to make artistic music in some way.]]> 2023-05-20 11:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598262711 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598282652 Music is a form of art i would say. Music involves sound and rhythm as its primary elements. As said byEpperson (2019) "music was regarded as a commonplace that a musical tone was characterized by the regularity of its vibrations"(para.6). like said music can be created with vibrating sounds too. like I explored the sounds with ribbon being vibrated.

Because children always tend towards music and movements. According to music as a concept of art, I would say that educators may let children listen to music that they would be able to learn something about art. Children are creative and   listening to music would develop their artistic skills. ]]> 2023-05-20 12:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598286707 shyansk https://padlet.com/shyansk/1t5r8qnzcfwhlam4/wish/2598291591 This journal had showed us how different materials could be used to create art. Also, I have explored the functions and the processes of different materials. And also made connections with how they could be used according to ECE settings in real life. As a conclusion I would say art is everywhere.
