Value of Artistic Expression
December 27, 2012
Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you're going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus.

"In diverse activities of expression, a child can practice different paths of artistic execution. They begin to know themselves by trying to transform reality in a permanent dialogue between their imagination and what is real. When the child gives form to the clay, the child meets with their emotions and their spirituality, which brings awareness and knowledge, through the forms, volumes, and movement that the child expresses in the creation."
Young children explore their ideas through experiences with various learning materials. In "Modelando", authors Roxana Salazar and Maria Carmen Schulze describe their work with young children growing up in Bolivia with limited access to resources. Children represent their understandings and develop hypotheses through modeling with clay. Stunning photography and text in English and Spanish share the authors' premise that children can learn and express themselves through materials, given the nurturing of adults who see the possibilities in the resources and the potential of each child.Learn More and Purchase
