When Luke is at KIDSPACE he loves to get involved in the creative arts. Yesterday there was a whole table of children some under two's and some over two's. Luke waited patiently for a turn to do a marbling picture. Luke asked me for a piece of paper so I got him one, I then asked "would you like to write your own name", he nodded. I passed the vivid to Luke and he wrote L, U and a few other symbols. Luke is showing that he understands that symbols and letters convey meaning. When Luke was producing his marbling picture he carefully choose the colours he wanted, then dropped the colours onto the white dot. Once he had chosen his colours Luke then used the paint brush to swirl the colours into different patterns, he then placed his paper on top, then lifted it up and his picture was done. I could see that Luke was proud of his finished picture. I then hung it up to dry. Through this experience Luke is able to be self-expressive and make choices, he's also learning a different technique. Luke was very observant and carefully watched what the other children did, so by the time it came to his turn to create the picture he was very confident at following the steps.
