Educational boards
The S11 Educational Board Picasso is a transparent board for drawing outdoors, in a steel frame with height adjustment. Trees can be seen through the pane, so a child traces outlines with a marker and paints with brushes and fingers, while a friend draws on the other side. It works well in nurseries, schools, therapy practices and education centres.
Product description
It all starts with what can be seen behind the pane. The child stands in front of it so that a tree or a roof is on the other side, and traces the outlines with a marker straight onto the transparent surface: a landscape takes shape in a few minutes, and along the way it becomes clear that drawing is above all looking. Where did the idea come from? It was the Impressionists who taught the world to paint from nature, in the open air - Monet, Renoir and Pissarro carried their easels out of the studio into the meadows to paint what was in front of their eyes. The second principle is in the name: Pablo Picasso used to say that every child is an artist, and the art is to remain one as an adult.
So that these pictures can be made all year round, the board has to withstand any weather: rain, frost and sun. The frame is steel, galvanised and powder-coated, so it does not rust in contact with moisture, and instead of glass the frame holds a transparent plexiglass pane - it does not shatter and withstands knocks, accidental ones included. Paints and markers come off with a damp sponge, without harsh detergents - water with a little soap is enough. The board is for all seasons and is covered by a warranty. The manufacturer is EduPlayground, and the equipment is made in Poland.
Painting on a vertical surface uses the arm and shoulder, not just the fingers, because the hand works in the air, without resting on a table. The child trains gross motor skills and precision at the same time.
Drawings from both sides only come together into one picture when the children reach an agreement through the pane: they settle on a topic, share the space and wait for each other. It is also practice in communicating without words, because every gesture and expression can be seen through the pane.
Painting and drawing have a calming effect, which is why the board also works in therapy practices. The child paints with their hands, traces shapes with a finger and practises hand-eye coordination, and painting sessions give an outlet to emotions that are hard to put into words.
Four elements: one shows the world on the other side, the others decide who paints and with what.
The pane is see-through, so the adult leading the session can see the child's face on the other side and keeps eye contact. The same transparency turns the board into a stage: the scenery is painted on the pane, and the actor stands behind it.
Both sides can be painted at once. Two children take the same subject - a cat, a house, the sun - and walk round the board to compare two views of the same thing. From a distance, the two drawings blend and look like a single piece of work.
A drawing does not stay for good: the next group finds a clean pane, and a child who wants to start again does not need to ask for a new sheet of paper. Poster paints, tempera, chalk markers and fingers all work well; permanent markers, oil paints and ballpoint pens are not suitable.
The height of the pane is set for the group that is working at the time: lower for the youngest, higher for older children and for an adult painting with them. One piece of equipment therefore serves activities for several age groups in the same garden.
