THIS is the PROCESS.

The objective when providing art materials to young children is for them to explore and discover. The LESS we do, the MORE they do.

We need to stop putting emphasize on how something looks, but rather, focus on their experience that interconnects and fuels all domains of development.

Even when children are older and more capable of creating recognizable pieces of art, we still need to step back and LET THEM FIGURE OUT how to create something.

Our need to over-instruct and direct removes opportunities for creative and critical thinking. We more-so need to step back and provide the conditions and opportunities for these experiences to exist.
