Children's art activities can range from simple crayon drawings to oil-painted canvases. If expense is an issue, research online resources, such as familyeducation.com, and discover a variety of recipes and art activities that can be made at home.
Art is a cumulative process for children, combining imagination, small and large motor skills, prior knowledge of academic concepts and the creative process. When children are allowed to explore creatively, their natural curiosity will transition into academic studies.
Early art activities for boys and girls should be open-ended and without structured guidance. Show your interest, offer positive support and allow the child artistic freedom.
Art activities are rich with developmental growth opportunities; each experience builds self-esteem, encourages the creative imagination and enhances problem-solving skills.
Many children determine the quality of their work by the evaluation of others. To support strong creative growth in a child, encourage them to evaluate their own artwork. If the child asks for your opinion, offer positive and specific compliments, but do not criticize.
