In valuing a child’s first artistic attempts, however, we should appreciate the beauty of the color and design rather than worry about the finished product. Real art for children is-
Personal. Art can be as simple as colors representing a pretty day or as complex as a series of drawings which express a sad feeling. It is important that each idea be developed by the child without adult preconceptions.
spontaneous. Always be ready for the creative moment!
Inventive. Children need to have access to a variety of materials. Some or masters paint with egg yolks, – berries for color, and use sticks for brushes. Experiment!
Imaginative. Cows can be purple and tears gray with glitter. The moon really can smile, mommies can have six arms.
Unique. And original idea, combined with imaginative expression in materials for the child choice, encourages ownership and a positive sense of self-esteem. No two works of art the same when a young child is the artist.
Therapeutic. Our provides children with the means to gain control over their feelings. I completed creative work establishes feelings of self satisfaction and self-confidence.
Fun. Whether kids concentrate alone or work in a shared grade group, the positive, and through as the Astec atmosphere of enjoyment is essential!
