Add to those questions, abilities, motor skills, abstract concepts and…
“How much time do I have to do this?” and you have a panic attack moment!
Or at least a creative melt down!
We should add too this concept that we did not tell the kids WHAT to create….. just paint a picture with yarn.
For us, it’s not about what they made at the end of the class. Not that we don’t care or want them to make some fantabulous art.
But how they feel, what they realize they are capable of doing, what they discover about the yarn, glue or whatever mediums we use, and each one’s individual panic conquering moment….. that’s our goal.
Because when we allow them to play with the process, they allow us to see their inner creativity. Hopefully they will use what they discovered at home or in art from now on!
