This week we have been focusing a lot on art and learning about the world around us. While observing the children hard at work with their art projects it's so fun to see how happy they get using their imagination. Some children really get into it. Others enjoy it but aren't as talented as their peers, so they get frustrated. Then there are those others that observe their peers and copy what they are doing. I myself enjoy creating and using my imagination. I encourage the children to do the same. Especially with many that have disabilities, this is a time for them to truly express themselves and have their own personal time of imagination and happiness. The more color and art in a room, I believe the healthier the environment. You, as a teacher, can learn so much from the art of your children. Especially when you add music to the room while they are creating, you will truly see emotion in their art and you can find out a lot about what they are going through or feeling through their pictures, no matter the age.
