WORKING WITH CHILDREN: MY PASSION…

WORKING WITH CHILDREN: MY PASSION…

According to Albert Einstein, He said Imagination is more important than knowledge. It is good to know that creativity can be explored if the imagination is unlocked! Inside every child is a creative genius waiting for an expression. My inspiration for working with kids is embedded in the fact that they are pure and empty of pollution but full of inspiration, they are

receptive in their expressing their creative ingenuity. Why so much passion while working kids? Well, Children love art because it's fun and provides them with authentic self-expression: the freedom of choice, thought and feeling. How important is art in a child’s human development? What does a picture tell us about the child who created it?

Children’s art is many things to many people. To a parent, art is a display of their child's imagination. To an educator, it's a teaching tool. To a psychologist, art is a way to understand a child's mind. To a grandparent, it's a way to feel connected. To a librarian, it's a way to enhance book knowledge. To a child, art is a way to have fun, make decisions, and express choices.

Picasso wrote "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." Is children's art an act of genius? Are children more creative than adults? Perhaps Picasso was simply impressed by the spontaneity of children's art. Child art, like most child behavior, is direct and uncensored. A young child doesn't critique his work – he paints freely and with pleasure, enjoying the fine and gross motor experience of moving paint over paper and watching lines, shapes and colors come to life. Art puts a child in the "driver's seat" and provides freedom: the freedom of choice, thought and feeling.

Thus, working with children is fun and a great adventure. Working with kids works wonders.Creativity without  limitation.
