Why Process art Matters?
Have you ever noticed your child getting upset because they can’t draw the perfect shape to complete their artwork? Do you have a child that loves art but art class at school doesn’t allow for them to create outside of the bounds?
In today’s world, we are so focused on the end result. There are benefits to the end result, such as, completion and discipline.
The process of creating art can have more encouraging and positive benefits, such as,
Express Creative Freedom
Process art allows children to dive into their imagination without the pressure of creating a perfect masterpiece. When you allow imagination to kick in we tap into our feelings and ideas which help in developing an individual artistic voice.
Enhance Problem Solving Skills
When children engage in process art, they will encounter challenges, such as mixing colors, learning new art forms, or deciding how they want their artwork to look. Challenges lead to critical thinking and encourages them to find solutions, enhancing their problem-solving skills.
Builds Confidence
By focusing on the process and not the masterpiece, children take pride in their artwork without having fear that their ‘art’ doesn’t match the other artist around them. Being able to communicate your new ideas and solutions without ‘fear’ leads to confidence and is a wonderful skill to have as they grow.
Builds Social Connections
Being in a small town with small school districts, our studio aims to provide a welcoming environment for the little artist. Getting to collaborate, share ideas, and provide feedback with new friends enhances social skills, teamwork, and builds friendships.
These are just some of the many benefits when focusing on process art. Process art matters because it allows positive benefits as a whole - socially, emotionally, and cognitively.
We look forward to seeing your child imagine and create!
