Children’s Art with Ms. Tracy
Are you looking for some inspiration? Get out your art supplies because it is time to be creative and expressive with art.
When children draw, color, paint, or write, this expression of art is a language. Long before children can talk, they will use art to communicate how they feel and think. Art is a way a child can show emotions and thoughts through movement. The media can be paper, sand, rocks, sidewalks, a napkin, or even an art canvas. By allowing a child to doodle, this creates new pathways in the brain that will help them grow and thrive.
