Painting learning story example

Painting reveals colour knowledge, planning, and perseverance. Keep the narrative focused on observable actions and language.

Painting learning story example

Harper stood at the easel, chose red first, then added blue, yellow, and green. She tested brush pressure to make thin and thick lines, naming colours as she worked. When colours muddied, she cleaned the brush after a prompt and tried layering arcs. She stepped back: “It’s a rainbow,” then added smaller details to complete it.

Learning analysis (EYLF v2.0 / Te Whāriki)

  • EYLF Outcome 4: experimenting with tools and techniques; planning and revising.
  • EYLF Outcome 5: using descriptive language and symbols to represent ideas.
  • Te Whāriki – Communication (Mana Reo): expressing meaning through art; Exploration (Mana Aotūroa): trial‑and‑error and persistence.

Next steps and extensions

  • Introduce paint mixing with primary→secondary colour prompts and vocabulary.
  • Offer different tools (sponges, rollers, thin brushes) to vary control.
  • Invite Harper to title and dictate a sentence about her painting for display.

Quick summary and tips

  • Describe sequence (choose → try → adjust) concisely.
  • Link each observable to one clear outcome; avoid curriculum quotes.
