Cultivating Creative Hearts & Minds: Open-Ended Art Experiences for Young Children

Creativity is intelligence having fun! Alberta Einstein had it right with his quote on creativity. Children are natural artists, as all their masterpieces are a visual representation of how they see the world around them. Let us foster this self expression through open-ended creative art experiences! For children, the focus on art is the process of creativity, not the end result. So, let’s provide an environment full of creative materials that allow children to enjoy the creative journey and show us their colorful world!

Objectives:

• Define creativity and art
• Differences between crafts and open-ended art
• Identify the main categories of art experiences
• Creative art activity ideas
