Be extremely°cared to explain to your c, ildren the dangers;df

are painting in these smocks.
Parents often ask the question, "What is the purpese of art for
my pre-school childpen?'V` a valid•question in the light of:the
necessity,of encouragi -child art and of course ponsidering the
time and effort- whi is necessary in providing full art""
oportunities. for children. e
r iD At the outset it must be made clear' that child art is not and ,
should never be considered" "as a tramingfi ground for . future
- `artists. Two very harmful elements always surface whenever this �
attitude is forced upon the child; firstly, the child'•is boxed in by:
being pressured into learning artistic techniques instead. of
freely enjoying art, and secondly competition is added. 'Poster
contests, drawing contests or afiy other type"of art c'ontest•serve
no useful'purpose when applied to young children. The losers get
iscouraged and the winner gains unnecesstiry praise. In fact it
i often the winner of such contests who suffers the, most for the
youlig, artist will -continue doing the same type of painting
instead of experimenting• and exploring art. .
Although the question, 'why,child art?'. is extremely complex,
it is possible to give an answer by looking at the physical, menial
and aesthetic development .gained by the child through art.
Physical Development:
A child gains control f• his hands .and arms as well -as
strengthening his body .posture. He develops co-ordination
between hisAands and eyes, while the eyes themselves are r'
becoming instruments of judgment. •'
Mental. Development:
A child learns to distinguish colo and begins to'thin'k about
shapes lines and sizes. W6rk in art 'elps inithe child's pse of
L, symbols which form the' buildipg locks for later learning.
Perhaps most important is the fact tha everytime the child works
in'art he is the creator of something which no one else can copy.
ATsthetic Developm"t:"
Art allows the child to see beauty, No child is, too young or
adult too oldxo look for and appreciate the beauty around them.
Canada is the most beautiful country in the world but it is being
polluted, destroyed and disfigured because we as -Canadians are
becoming blind to the,beatrty which is ours. '
A great deal irlgre can and shopld be said about the value of art
for young children. It is a subject which all parents of young
children should know about and one upon which several'; more
Play Time columtrs will be written.
The best place to start understanding child art is by giving
your children some art materials and to watch the priceless"smile
of satisfaction of your children after they have created
