Some art masters paint with egg yolks, mash berries for color, and use sticks for brushes. Cows can be purple, tears gray with glitter. The moon really can smile, and mommies can have six arms. An original idea, combined with imaginative expression and materials of the child's choice, encourages ownership and a positive sense of self-esteem. Not two works of art look the same when young children are the artists.
Art provides children with the means to gain control over their feelings.
