Example story

Observation: Leo mixed blue and white to make "sky colour," then experimented with pressure to create gradients. He titled his work "Storm to Sun."

Learning analysis (EYLF 3,4,5): Fine motor control; experimentation; symbolic representation; language to name techniques.

Next steps: Offer rollers/sponges; introduce terms (shade, blend, gradient); invite story dictation to accompany the painting.
