Blobs
Laura Vicuňa Pre-Kindergarten School, San FranciscoBlobs can be seen as mistakes, accidents, or they can be seen as shapes, figures, inspirations. In this workshop the children were shown a series of techniques, all related to blob-making, which resulted in experiments in blowing ink, folding paper with ink in it, crumbling paper and running ink through the wrinkles, making paper wet and dropping ink on top of it. These techniques free the children from the worries of right and wrong, neat and messy, and good and bad. I conducted a similar workshop many years earlier with elementary school children in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
