Define creativity:

of nowhere.

2. Percolation: Refining ideas through sketches/playing around with ideas visually. The
child can have an idea for a long time before creating a piece of art.

3. preparation: More active and focused time. The child has settled on inspirations and
figuring out how to make it happen. Includes- time spent obtaining and organising
supplies, creating a blue print, making roughs or dummy outline.

light on realistically painted flower petal in oil.

 Imagination – Learners have to formulate images/objects in their minds. It contributes to the
child’s mental growth and life experiences that they will reflect on during their journey,
examples of activities, “world of work” , “pure play” , “fantasy”.

 Observation – Learners need to copy from reality/what they see in front of them. The child is
trying to make sense of their own world and that is why they are copying what they see. The
teacher should not interrupt/critise. Through observation activities a child ignite their
intellectual skills and abilities.

 Initiative – This refers to rthe ability of learners to think by themselves to execute something
on their own without being told to do it. Thus children who suggest things portray initiative
skills. When learnes chooses their own materials, shapes etc. it fosters independence and
responsibility.

 Self- expression – Through self-expression learners have the ability to show their emotions
and ideas in the strongest sense. Educators must not discourage learner’s expressions; such
expressions can be reflected in the art and craft projects naturally and effeiciently. Expressing
feelings and emotions through art can be easier than to do it verbally.

 Control of motion, hands – Contributes to writing skills later. Young children start with thick
crayons, then move towards finer crayons, pencils and other materials. The entiry body iis
immersed in creating art, motion is controlled and becomes more and more refined as the
child dvelops their gross and fine motor skills.

 characteristics of materials – Through experimentation with different materials, learners gain
practical knowledge and material handling experience, such as paint and brush strokes.

 Sympathetic understanding – Expressive activity. Triggered when learners portray an
animal/human being etc. Learners feel the items they are portraying. Such an understanding
is in the subconscious mind of the learner.

 Sense of appretiation of beauty – All 5 senses are explored through art. Children are
exposed to the production of easthetic products/objects/artworks and what is beautiful to one
is not necessarily beautiful to another.

Theories underpinning child art development:

Paiget cognitive development theory:

 He theorised that individuals can build their knowledge through cognitive learning
experiences in their daily interactions with the world.

 Views young children as social beings who need support to develop autonomy

 Children may be able to learn from art activities in a constructivist manner.

 Learning occurs when children create products or artefacts.

 The teacher’s role is to facilitate learning by providing a variety of experiences. Teachers
should provide opportunities for learners to explore and experience in this way
encouraging learner’s new understandings.

 Unstructered play is healthy and crucial in fascilitating children to reach important, social,
