Process Art

In Abrakadoodle class, we involve children in what is know as Process Art. We help children to explore, create and develop thier own original ideas. We provide children with the inspiration, materials, guidance and tools to be creative. Each child creates original art work which is a reflection of his or her own personal interpretation and idea.

Here is additional information about Process Art.

What is Process Art?

When we think about art instruction, we often think about the outcome - "What a nice painting you created, Molly." But what is really important is what Molly learned as she created her art. What she learned in the "process." That's Process Art - Art that places the emphasis upon the learning taking place.

Why is Process Art so Important?

Teachers and parents who respect children's ideas help them to learn to think and solve problems for themselves. Children who feel free to make mistakes and to explore will also feel free to invent, create and find new ways to do things.
