Process art

You may see your child come home with some 'interesting' art projects :)
In my classroom I encourage children to create art however they choose. We very rarely have art projects where the students are asked to follow step by step directions. We encourage the use of paper, scissors, yarn, boxes, stamps, egg cartons...whatever they choose. We teach how to use tape dispensers properly and how to safely use scissors so that they can work independently. Process art allows students to use their imagination and think outside the box.
Attached here is a link explaining a little bit more about the benefits of allowing children to be creative with their art: PROCESS ART FOR KIDS
At home you can encourage your child to explain what they are making, encourage them to add more, ask questions, etc.
