Goals for today: Why is process art Developmentally
Appropriate(DAP) for NAEYC Learn about using tools and materials for
creative representation Discover opportunities for creative
representation beyond the art area Time for hands on exploration of materials Take at least 1 NEW idea to your
classroom
![Page 4: Creativity and Art: Using Process Art with Young Children](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816945550346895de0d15d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Young children “do” art for the experience, the exploration, the experimentation. In the “process” they discover mystery, creativity, joy, frustration.
Children should be encouraged to be independent in artistic process rather than striving for a finished product.

Where I am coming from NAEYC Minnesota Early Learning Standards High/Scope Creative Curriculum 11 years in the classroom Eager to learn, try, and experiment with
new things

My start…first day of teaching The letter is A-we will:
Make thumb print ant with ink and markers Paint apple shapes at the easel-no paint
mixing! flannel board Way up high in the Apple
Tree Practice writing ‘A’s’ on lines and color the
shape of an apple Send home the ‘A’ die cut

Now…11 years later Calvary Childcare Center
Ink pads are available if a child would like, children rarely uses just one finger
In September we taste tested apples, after many children talked about their weekend trip to the Apple Orchard
Coloring sheets and worksheets are NOT allowed
Children take home items that they have created, drawn, cut, traced, glued, etc-if they allow, we hang it up in the classroom for a bit.

Change in planning…We/I always…. It would be cute if…. I saw this craft project in a resource book…I think I will try it. I will precut shapes, count out google eyes, and make a model…

Meeting in the middle Product art isn’t a worst case scenario.
Possible to incorporate artistic processes into a product based activity Ie child created cards Easel painting in shapes Colors to fit a theme “Today we are going to make animals for
our jungle mural…what should we use?”

NAEYC-Visual Arts-Preschool1. Developmentally appropriateClassroom teachers or specialist art
teachers give children opportunities to explore various art materials (ie markers, paint, clay) to use in creative expression and representation. They talk with children about their art. Teachers have children revisit projects and media, giving them opportunities to revise and expand their ideas and refine their skills.
![Page 22: Creativity and Art: Using Process Art with Young Children](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816945550346895de0d15d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
NAEYC-Visual Arts-Preschool In Contrast… To avoid mess, teachers provide only a
very limited selection of art materials or allow children to use materials only under highly controlled conditions
Teachers introduce only a few art media and methods that they enjoy or know.
![Page 23: Creativity and Art: Using Process Art with Young Children](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816945550346895de0d15d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
NAEYC-Visual Arts-PreschoolDevelopmentally appropriate2. Teachers do not provide a model that
they expect children to copy. However, they demonstrate new techniques or uses of the material to expand children’s options.
![Page 24: Creativity and Art: Using Process Art with Young Children](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816945550346895de0d15d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
NAEYC-Visual Arts-PreschoolIn Contrast
Emphasis is on the product children make, and teachers typically provide a model that children are to reproduce (thus, children’s products all look identical). They often give children tasks such as coloring in forms on printed pages, and they emphasize “coloring inside the lines.” Teachers “fix” children’s work if it does not meet expectations.
