Encourage children to let their art evolve as they work with a spirit of experimentation.
Everyone has his or her own way of making things, and telling children how they should make their art stifles creativity. Celebrate the expressive ideas of the child. Creativity is a gift to be nurtured in everyone.
"When students find joy in their creative outlets, there is a positive carryover to school in general. Emotion, interest and motivation promote learning and memory. Brain research shows the brain produces at least three pleasure chemicals when joy is present: endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. These chemicals account for the emotional states produced by self-satisfaction, positive self-image, passion for one's art, and joy in learning." Diane Watanabe and Richard Sjolseth (co-directors of the Institute of Learning, Teaching, and the Human Brain)
