Sometimes children struggle to articulate complex feelings and ideas verbally. Art can be a powerful alternative channel for communication, allowing children to share their feelings, fears, experiences and parts of who they are without having to rely solely on verbal expression. Today we explore ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ:
1. ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐
๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: Through these activities and given a chance, children can convey whatโs in their hearts and minds.
โ๏ธ Through the use and choice of colour, a child trying to process grief might use darker colours to express their sadness.
โ๏ธ An overall happy child could lean more towards yellows, flower drawings, and the sun to express their inner joy.
โ๏ธ And when a child feels overwhelmed by multiple emotions, working with different materials can help them compartmentalize and process their feelings. For example; rough textures might represent anger, while soft materials could be a symbol of comfort and safety.

In ๐๐ซ๐ญ, there is no wrong or right way to create, every art piece is unique and special. That freedom removes any form of fear that couldโve potentially blocked emotional expression.
3. ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐
๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: Art opens new channels of communication between children and parents/caregivers and reveals insights that conversations alone might miss.
4. ๐จ๐๐, ๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐: Art can be therapeutic for children who have experienced change, loss or identity confusion. The creation process can help them integrate different parts of who they are and find a connection between their inner world and outer experiences.

It truly matters to children how parents respond to their art. When your child presents you with their artwork, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐. Therefore, be more encouraging, engage more and follow-up with open-ended questions. You could even take it as far as creating a designated space to display their artwork at home.
Track their creative process and pay close attention to how their art changes over time. Then you will know how to step-in should you notice persisting concerning themes.
๐๐ง ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ :
In a world that often moves too fast for little hearts to keep up, art becomes a lot more than just play. It is how children make sense of what they feel and experience. Whether it be through painting, music or simple craft, art gives them room to simply ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฆ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ฏ๐๐ฌ.
That is the heart behind ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐
๐ ๐ซ๐๐. A full-day experience designed to give children the freedom to explore, express and embrace their creativity in a safe, nurturing space.
On ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ 29๐๐, at MAUN, we invite parents to let their children be part of a day that goes beyond art. You can be a part of us by securing a spot for your little one before tickets run out. Contact 76 825 571 for ticket purchase or enquiries.
