Unfinished work should be left where a child may work on it when they wishe to do so. We encourage children to verbalize about their paintings and other art expressions. Young children determine the size of things they draw or paint by the importance they wish to give them. A flower may be larger than a building because the flower is more important to the child. This is completely logical to the child - as it is to many professional artists.
All young children have the potential for creative expression.
It is the responsibility of parents and teachers to provide opportunities for this potential to develop as fully as possible. It is not the child's fault if this does not happen. Through our actions and attitudes, we convince young children that we have complete faith in their ability to express their own ideas in their own way. All Rights Reserved.
