Painting is more than a simple activity.painting is a way for children to do many things : explore process and outcomes, explore color and texture using their senses as well as it helps children communicate their emotions without using words. In our classroom, we are focusing on how children convey their emotions and feelings through paint.
As it is natural for young children to experience all sorts of emotions (some that are subtle and some can be extreme in nature), giving them an opportunity to express those feelings is crucial in the process of learning how to handle and accept them. We have already noticed the children talking more about how they are feeling, while also gaining a better understanding of how others are feeling.
