Read about what I think of both below.

I believe they are both needed because they both do have benefits I do believe in one more than the other though. What do you think?

Structured Art

• practice following directions

• learn new techniques

• they may even feel a sense of accomplishment seeing their final product

Unstructured Art

• Fosters creativity

• please the child not the adult

• No fear of failure

• Open ended

• child directed

If you do structured art here is what I would recommend :

1. Give kids an option which one to do

2. limit the amount you do

3. if a child wants to change a piece let them

Giving your child time for unstructured art is a perfect way to help your child grow his/her love for art.

Tell me your kids favorite things to use for art?
