What is process art?
Process art focuses on the process of making art and exploring materials, rather than on the finished product. It is child-directed and every child’s creation is different and unique.
When engaging in process art, your child is:
Using problem solving skills
Thinking creatively and using their imagination
Strengthening their fine motor skills while manipulating scissors, glue, markers, paintbrushes, etc.
Gaining confidence in their ideas
To learn more, read our post for Becker’s School Supplies about how to get started using Process Art.
Check out additional resources, catch up on our blog posts and activity ideas.
