Observation: Brown Paper Bag

Decent Essays
Another observation I encounter was at the beginning of class, I noticed S.B was drawing green circles on a brown paper bag. S.B was so excited as she gained others attention by saying “look what I’m doing, look at me!” I eagerly approached her and began a simple conversation about her drawing. S.B was clearly enjoying herself as she nodded her head and hummed. Deborah has also informed me that H enjoys drawing as well. Deborah explained how H was painting one day on an easel and seemed very intrigued by his painting. H would stand back and think as he observed the painting from afar and then he would add different lines to the drawing. S.B and H portrayed physical development by using their fine motor skills to hold and manoeuver the crayon/

    Mark making is significance to children’s learning through imagination, symbolic play, meaning making, drawing, early writing and maps. Children that are engaged in symbolic play make meanings and show potential of the children’s understanding of symbolic language such as writing and written notation of mathematics (Vygotsky, 1978; Van Oers 2005 & Worthington, 2010). Van Oers (2005) stated that the word imagination means ‘image formation’ which means by making and using signs, where people make images from their reality. However, Pramling (2009) argued that human knowledge contains a large extent of representations and that children’s images and signs includes a more diverse range of gestures, actions, sounds, words, artefacts and graphicacy.…

    To keep myself busy, I always bring a sketchbook to school so I make up some new drawings. I like to sketch things like video game ideas, I play video games often and I have an active imagination so I fused the two of them together. My works of art aren’t that well sketched and I never show them off to the public, but it matters most to the artist what he himself thinks of his works. Putting my sociality and art aside, I am considered one of the brightest minds in my school and my family.…
