Login Artists Are Problem Solvers Children are natural problem-solvers. Babies are learning to think like artists when they look at your loving face. Toddlers are making sense of the world when they examine pictures in a book.
Preschoolers solve artistic problems when they grip a crayon or marker in their fingers.
These are some of the ways you can support imaginative explorations, at every age level. Encourage children to figure out for themselves how to explore art materials. Provide a variety of materials so they can imagine, problem solve, and invent creations. Experiment and discover. With any new art material or technique, children benefit from finding out on their own.
