ART & CRAFT FOR KIDS

CHILDREN EXPLORE SOUND AND COLOUR, TEXTURE, SHAPE, FORM AND SHAPE IN TWO AND THREE DIMENSIONS. THEY RESPOND IN A VARIETY OF WAYS TO WHAT THEY SEE, HEAR, SMELL, TOUCH, AND FEEL. THROUGH ART, MUSIC, DANCE, STORIES AND IMAGINATIVE PLAY, THEY SHOW AN INCREASING ABILITY TO USE THEIR IMAGINATION TO LISTEN AND TO OBSERVE.THEY HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF MATERIALS, SUITABLE TOOLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER RESOURCES TO EXPRESS IDEAS AND TO COMMUNICATE THEIR FELLINGS. A TEACHER SHOULD NOT DOMINATE OR STIFLE CHILDREN’s CREATIVITY. THEY HAVE A VITAL ROLE TO PLAY IN A CHILD’S CREATIVE EXPRESSION. THERFORE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO VALUE THE CHILD AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE CHILD TO DISCOVER AND DEVELOP THIS INDIVIDUALITY. WE SHOULD KNOW THAT CHILDREN CANNOT BE TAUGHT TO BE CREATIVE, BUT CAN BE GUIDED TO DEVELOP THEIR ABILITIES. WE SHOULD REALIZE THAT CHILDREN MUST BE PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES THAT ALLOW THEM TO EXPLORE, EXPERIENCE AND GAIN CONFIDENCE TO EXPRESS THEIR IDEAS IN A WAY THAT IS UNIQUELY THEIR OWN.

ART IS NOT JUST A HOBBY; IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT OF HUMAN BEHAVIOUR WHICH INVOLVES INTELLECTUAL AS WELL AS EMOTIONAL EXPLORATION, EXPRESSION AND COMMUNICATION. LEARNING THROUGH ART AND CRAFT IS  THE MEANS OF DEVELOPING CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION AND TO PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE CHILDREN TO DISCOVER AND DEVELOP THE INDIVIDUALITY IN CHILDREN. CHILDREN EXPLORE SOUND ,COLOUR, TEXTURE, SHAPE, FORM AND SPACE IN TWO AND THREE DIMENSIONS. THEY RESPOND IN A VARIETY OF WAYS TO WHAT THEY SEE, HEAR, SMELL, TOUCH AND FEEL. THROUGH ART, MUSIC, DANCE, STORIES AND IMAGINATIVE PLAY, THEY SHOW AN INCREASING ABILITY TO USE THEIR IMAGINATION TO LISTEN AND TO OBSERVE. THERE ARE  WIDE RANGE OF MATERIALS, SUITABLE TOOLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER RESOURCES TO EXPRESS IDEAS AND TO COMMUNICATE THEIR FEELINGS. THEY HAVE A VITAL ROLE TO PLAY IN A CHILD'S CREATIVE EXPRESSION. CHILDREN FEEL THAT CREATIVE ART ACTIVITIES ARE INTERESTING AND ENJOYABLE. THROUGH CRAFTS CHILDREN LEARN MATHEMATICS, LANGUAGE, SOCIAL AND PERSONAL, CREATIVE AND EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL AND FINE MOTOR SKILLLS AND ALSO THEY CAN  UNDERSTAND THE WORLD. THERFORE, CRAFTS SHOULD BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CURRICULUM, WHICH PROVIDED IN A RICH AND STIMULATING ENVIRONMENT.
