From birth, children explore and understand their world through touching, seeing, hearing and responding to colours, textures, sights, and sounds in their environments. It is from these early explorations that lifelong attitudes about creativity and their own capacity to be creative are formed. Children are creative beings. They have a natural curiosity that leads them to constantly explore, investigate and experiment to gain an understanding of the possibilities in their environment.
"This course has really helped me gain some practical insight and I know it will be beneficial to my children. I'm so glad I did it. I was unsure at first but OCA make it really easy and its great online platform." - Nicole
Children learn through doing, so when children apply paint to paper, glue things together, or pound a lump of clay, they experiment with colour, shape, design, and texture. They develop an awareness and appreciation of pleasant sensory experiences and begin to practise aesthetic judgment.
Children express their individual ideas and feelings with art materials such as paint, clay, markers, crayons, paste, and collage materials. As they view their own creations and those of other children, they learn to value and appreciate differences. For young children, the process of creating is what is most important, not what they actually create.
