[quote=Anonymous]I feel bad for all the parents and teachers who are focused on kids this age “following directions.” Preschool process art is one of the last chances kids get to tap into an inner drive to make things. To solve problems and persevere. To form an idea, actualize it, fail and work through mistakes. It’s such a waste to have a 4 year old pursuing a teacher’s vision. Think about the amount of frustration and the number of opportunities to develop plans young children used to encounter in their daily lives before schooling started so young and afterschool free play became structured. Art projects are one of the last domains where they can have some autonomy. [/quote]
