Art & Painting
For many different creative outlets, art is an all-encompassing term. It's not just the paintings that you see hanging in the Smithsonian, Metropolitan Art Museum, or any of the world's other art galleries. It is also theatre, music, dance, performing arts, literature, movies, and media, to name a few. Arts are unstructured and come from an expression of feelings or emotions in a visual form. They are creative merit based and serve only an aesthetic purpose. They emphasize visual qualities, ideas and feelings.
Children in kindergartens are creative and intuitive. They accept the world the way it is and find it difficult to isolate specific information from a larger pool. They logically do not categorize objects. Young children do not use realistic proportion when drawing. They draw items that are important to them on a large scale and they may exclude items that do not matter to them. Art is an activity that can use all the senses — seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting. Gripping a paintbrush, drawing dots and lines, combining colours, cutting with scissors, using a glue stick or squeezing a glue bottle, kneading and rolling playdough, tearing paper-all these tasks require increasing amounts of strength and coordination, yet they are so fun and rewarding that children want to do them over and over again.
