In an elementary class, as a teacher’s art assistant, I heard her express her frustation to her students one day, when they didn’t seem to be accomplishing much. Her question “What is the purpose of art?”. With bewildered looks, a response was given, because it is fun!
“Every Child is an Artist” – Pablo Picasso
Art helps children grow in creative, emotion, physical, social and intellectual areas. Art develops their sensory perception, their hand eye coordination, and their fine more control. Especially important to strengthen arm muscles when they stand at the easel which helps to strengthen future handwriting skills. It gives children pleasure and satisfication, and they can find beauty in their work and with others. Art is a masterpiece, when a child explores it on their own terms. As a educator, I don’t want to mess with their designs. I do want to capture their stories as they describe what they are doing during their creation. Children are our future, they may be the future architect of our buildings, the ability to give beauty to our city, and their future handwriting skills will be the foundation of what they will accomplish.
