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 :
Give kids an option which one to do
limit the amount you do
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?
Paint sticks and toilet paper rolls all the way over here 🙌🏻
